Mint Stats: Gold Market Price Rise Threatens Unc. Eagles By David C. Kranz
February 21, 2008
The world market price of gold leaped into
record territory over $950 per ounce in New York intraday
trading Feb 21, having closed the day prior at $934.60. Will
the U.S. Mint pull uncirculated 2007 gold American Eagles
off sale for price adjustments?
We've previously noticed that when gold's
market price gets within about $100 of the one-ounce Unc.
Eagle price, the sales are suspended. On Feb. 21, the Unc.
gold Eagle is available at $1,045.95.
Before an e-mail snafu prevented me from accessing
all of this week's statistics, I'd noted the 2008 Bald Eagle
commem numbers. They are updated this week, as are the Dolley
Madison First Spouse gold $10 figures, all as of Feb. 18.
The American Buffalo Celebration Coin had toted sales of 5,925
since going on sale Feb. 5.
