The U.S. Mint will stop rationing U.S. silver eagle coins next week, for the first time in 16 months, Mike Zielinski reports at Coin Update.
"Despite the restraints on availability," Zielinski writes, "year to date silver eagle sales have reached 21,436,500 ounces, according to the latest data available on the Mint's website. The current sales level and the removal of allocation create the possibility for another annual sales record. During 2013 the Mint had sold a record high 42,675,000 ounces."
Zielinski's report is headlined "Silver Eagle Bullion Coins No Longer on Allocation" and it's posted at Coin Update's Internet site here:
