Perth and US Mint bullion coin sales show little change in a relatively stagnant April

Very little of note with sales of Eagle bullion coins, or of bullion issues at the Perth Mint compared to April 2017. That must come as some relief after a succession of terrible reports, but we need to remember that overall numbers remain at a much lower level than just a couple of years ago. Likewise, with the notable exception of Perth Mint silver, changes from March this year are fairly minor.

All in all a quiet respite in what is often a fairly subdued month anyway. Signs of a bounce back remain in absentia.
