Investors looking to acquire
2015 Silver Eagles may just have a few more weeks to purchase the
coins. If demand for Silver Eagles by the Authorized Dealers and
investors remain strong over the next several weeks, we could see a record 47
million of the coins sold this year.
According to article, 2016 American Silver Eagle Release, Last 2015’s for Record:
It’s out with the old and in with the new. Earlier today, Nov. 24, the
United States Mint announced that it would stop producing 2015 American Eagle
silver bullion coins by Dec. 11 and that it would begin taking orders for the
first 2016-dated issues on Jan. 11.
2015 American Silver Eagles will claim an annual sales record. That should
happen by early next week, even as the U.S. Mint limits their sales.
The bureau has rationed sales of bullion American Silver Eagles for most
of this year as demand has exceeded supply. The U.S. Mint has the production
capability to produce many more of the one-one, .999 fine silver coins but,
like other world mints, it cannot always acquire enough silver planchets.
Currently, the U.S. Mint has sold 43.8 million oz (Moz) Silver
Eagles with three weeks remaining for sales to their Authorized Dealers.
Here is the U.S. Mint memo sent to its Authorized Dealers (from article
quoted above):
“This is to inform you that the United States Mint will continue to
produce 2015-dated American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins through the week of
December 7, 2015. Accordingly, we anticipate our last American Eagle Silver
Bullion Coin allocation of the year to be on Monday, December 14, 2015. The
final allocation is expected to be standard size so please plan accordingly.
The U.S. Mint will begin taking orders for the 2016 American Eagle Silver
Bullion Coins on Monday, January 11, 2016.”
If we assume the U.S. Mint will provide about 1 Moz of Silver
Eagles for the next three weeks, total sales will nearly reach 47 Moz.
I would assume sales of the Royal Canadian Mint Silver Maple Leafs will also
hit a new record of 30+ Moz.
As I mentioned in my article, THE DEATH OF PAPER GOLD & SILVER: The Data
Proves it:
Not only did demand for Global Gold ETF’s decline 2011-2015 (2015 f =
forecasted) compared to the previous five years, it went negative by 21.2
Moz. This was in stark contrast to the huge increase in physical gold bar and
coin demand of 208.8 Moz during the same time period.
Furthermore, we see the same trend taking place in the silver market. Investors
purchased a record 994.1 Moz of physical silver bar and coin demand during
the 2011-2015 time period compared to a paltry 18.2 Moz build in the
world Silver ETFs.
When we study the difference in paper gold and silver buying versus
physical bar and coin in the past five years… there’s just no comparison.
Investors purchased record physical gold and silver bar and coin while
staying away from the paper ETF’s with a ten foot pole.
Investors continue to wake up to the fact that the collapse of the
World’s Great Financial Ponzi Scheme in history is approaching faster then
ever. This is why we are experiencing record volume in
Gold-Silver Coin & Bar demand.

If you haven’t checked out THE
SILVER CHART REPORT, there’s a great deal of information on
the Silver Industry & Market not found in any single publication on the
internet. There is one chart in this report (Chart #19) that I
can guarantee that 99.9% of precious metal investors haven’t seen before.
I use this bird’s-eye approach when I create my easy to understand
charts. The Silver Chart Report is a collection of my
top silver charts from articles published over the past six years, and
includes in-depth, never-before-seen charts and content that indicate that
silver is on the rise. There are 48 charts in the report, broken down in five
