U.S. Eagle Gold Coins Sales Strongest Since 1999

New Ben Bernanke printed money is finding its way into the gold coin sector.

November sales of U.S. American Eagle gold coins are on track to be the best in 14 years, reports GodCore.


Bullion dealers in the U.S. report an influx of high net worth individuals that are buying gold coins in volume and taking physical possession of their bullion.

Month to date 131,000 ounces of American Eagles sold, that tripled last year's November sales and is the strongest November since 1998,  according to the U.S. Mint.

American Eagle silver coin sales more than doubled in November going from 1.384 million to 3.135 million ounces.  Silver coin sales were just shy of October's figure of 3.153 million ounces.
