<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 1300723, member: 2544&quot;]I don&#039;t know if anyone really knows the number of ASE collectors out there but what we do know is that the number of collectors of these bullion coins is growing and growing fast. </p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5">Growing Demand for Bullion Coins</font></p><p><br /></p><p>In recent years, the demand for American Silver Eagle bullion coins has expanded considerably. The economic uncertainties experienced during the second half of 2008 led to a dramatic increase in demand for physical precious metals. The United States Mint has experienced difficulty meeting the sudden higher level of demand for bullion coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the past few years, the Mint has been forced to suspend sales of Silver Eagles on several occasions. They have frequently resorted to imposing a rationing program, which allocated available supplies amongst authorized purchasers. Despite the suspensions and rationing, bullion coins reached a new all-time high for annual sales in 2008, and then broke that record in the following two years. Current demand trends suggest another fresh all time record high will be achieved for 2011.</p><p><br /></p><p>The high demand for Silver Eagles has also had implications for collectors. The highly popular collectible proof and uncirculated versions of the Silver Eagle were canceled for 2009, as the Mint diverted all supplies of incoming silver blanks to the production of bullion coins. Only recently have the collector versions of the coins resumed their typical availability.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://silvereagleguide.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://silvereagleguide.com/" rel="nofollow">http://silvereagleguide.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
