The Royal Canadian Mint is on track to raise sales of its silver bullion coins by around 30 percent to 25 million ounces this year and to match last year’s record gold sales of around 1 million ounces, an executive from the Mint said.
Speaking on the sidelines of the London Bullion Market Association annual conference, John Moore, executive director of bullion and refinery services at the Mint, told Reuters investors believed silver had more room to rise than gold.
“In terms of our sales this year, year to date we’re tracking to the same volumes as we had last year in gold, which were record volumes for us heading towards a million ounces,” he said.
“In silver, we are 30 percent ahead of where we were last year,” he said. “We finished last year with 18 million ounces of silver (sales). We are looking at increasing those sales by about 30 percent to the end of this year, to around 25 million ounces.”
The Royal Canadian Mint refines and produces Maple Leaf bullion coins, gold kilo bars, trade bars and gold wafers, as well as one-ounce silver, platinum and palladium coins.
Ping.
The gold ones are nice, too.
When Obama loses next year it’s going to be one hell of a buyer’s market in metals and guns.
Sold my old canadian silver coins. Did well!!
The problem is the economic fundamentals (i.e., debt and unfunded future obligations) of the country will be the same for the next decade or more.
Might be a good time for those thinking longer term to stock up. Ever if you are wrong, it’s not a bad hedge.
Agreed.
