March sales of the Mint’s gold coins and gold bars tallied to 121,997 ounces, soaring 67.9% from February while falling 6.7% from March 2021 when sales reached an all-time monthly high. Aside from March 2021 when sales reached 130,730 ounces, the only better month for the Mint was in February 2021 at 124,104 ounces.
"Amid the Russia Ukraine crisis and its associated gold price volatility, it was no surprise to see a further increase in interest for our physical gold products — particularly from Europe," said General Manager Minted Products, Neil Vance.
"With good stocks of 1oz Australian Kangaroo gold coins and a growing inventory of fractional sizes, we were able to significantly increase the number of ounces shipped compared to February."
The Mint’s first quarter gold sales at 261,357 ounces are 21% lower than the 330,937 ounces sold in first quarter 2021.
Perth Mint sales in March of minted silver coins and silver bars totaled 1,649,634, scoring increases of 1.1% from February and about 3.1% from March of last year.

Just more evidence of my suspicious mind; that it’s all one big metals mafia family from caffeine Mike to NGC and that they must work together to keep the FOMO alive.
You don’t really think that anyone actually paid $840,000 for that crappy chunk of Gold the other day – rhetorical.

Can’t wait to see how they screw this one up –
I would say someone has tuned into this little blog and perhaps my ebay seller page where I explained to the lazy sheeple how to sign up for enrollment so they don’t have to spend the rest of their days bellyaching about over-paying.
Still no official “Sold Out” on the product page but the letter was quite specific American Innovation sold out via enrollments for first time in history – THAT MEANS WE MADE HISTORY – no thanks to or from the US Mint of course…………………..
That’s on top of his own line of speed boats.

When I am able to add any kind of gold bullion to my collection I feel an indescribable since of elation. It also makes me feel a sense of security to have each piece and to be able to hold them in my hands. I think gold bullion could help anyone feel this way. http://www.GemCoCoins.com
