US Mint runs out of American Eagle silver coins

摘要

New York-The US Mint, which produces American Eagle silver bullion coins, has been rationing coin dealers becasue it cannot produce the coins fast enough to satisfy investors' demand, various sources have told Platts. The mint sells the 1 oz silver coins wholesale to dealers as well as retail to investors. These bullion coins are legal tender and each contains a minimum of 1 troy oz of 99.9% pure silver. This makes them attractive to investors who wish to own physical silver. The coins have been selling at roughly 8 million oz/year on average, but the pace has accelerated along with the upswing in silver prices.
