Silver coins were not shining as bright last week as the week before, according to the latest United States Mint sales report.
Demand dropped across all U.S. Mint silver numismatic products, but the softened sales appear to be more a reflection of collectors who have already made their new coin purchases than of anything else.
2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollars are still hot, and it is typical for weekly sales to decline following the burst of...

The United States Mint today officially announced the launch date and order limits for the 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollar. The commemorative BSA coins go on sale Tuesday, March 23, at noon Eastern Time.
The release date is not news, as the US Mint had the date tentatively scheduled back in January, 2010. What is news and surprising is the household order limit of 100 per option -- both a proof and uncirculated version will be available.
The 350,000 mintage limit for both coins is already lower than last year's silver commemoratives, and the 2010 Boy Scouts coins are highly anticipated with many believing they will sell out. The high order limit could ...

With the land 'Down Under' hosting some of the most pristine reef environments on the globe, it is no wonder that some of the most beautiful and unique creatures known to man would be indigenous to this environment. The Leafy Sea Dragon is just one example.

Silver coins, while certainly not the main focus of the United States Mint 2009 Annual Report, did figure prominently in many of the sales results shown within its pages.
Almost without a doubt, the insatiable appetite for precious metals displayed by investors last year created the biggest impact on US Mint operations. With demand for the American Eagle Silver Bullion coins at record levels for the 2009 calendar year, other product lines were adversely affected.
According to the Mint's sales report, an amazing 28,766,500 one ounce silver Eagles were sold last year, smashing the previous annual record created just the year before by over ...

The Royal Canadian Mint in October released limited edition silver coin that was only the second ever proof dollar struck in ultra high relief long associated with ancient medallic art. Symbolizing the sun in three dimensions, the specially crafted coin has sold out.
The sun has always been an important (if not the most importance) aspect of life. Without it the planet would just be another cold chunk floating through space, void of all living creatures as we know them. It is not surprising then, that man has used the sun as a symbol of extreme power for ages ...
