2018 ASE sales from the US Mint

[valerb]

As of Tuesday January 9th, the US Mint shipped 2,495,000 ASE's for the month of January and 2,495,000 YTD

As of Wednesday January 10th, the US Mint shipped 2,520,000 ASE's for the month of January and 2,520,000 YTD

Last year they started off with a bang shipping 5,127,500 in January which turned out to be 28% of their total for the year which was very disappointing.

Hopefully ASE's sales will be robust again this year simply because the spot price has taken on a favorable price again.

As of Tuesday January 16th, the US Mint shipped 2,770,000 ASE's for the month of January and 2,770,000 YTD.

Only shipping 275,000 over the past week is a bit disappointing with January being the largest shipping month of the year.

Actually it sounds like a lot, but 275,000 per week is 14 million for a year and making 2017's number look good.

As of Monday January 22nd the US Mint has shipped 3,020,000 ASE's for the month of January and 3,020,000 YTD

While there are still seven shipping day's left in January, this is shaping up to be the lowest shipping January since 2010 when they shipped 3.6 million, after that is 2014 when they shipped 4.8 million ASE's and 5.1 in 2017.

For all the hype of a great year Silver is going to have in 2018, it sure doesn't look like the dealers actually believe it themselves.

They could have ordered all the ASE's they wanted for under $17 for the entire month of December and for under $16 for one week in December.

I could be wrong but it seems they are not sure Silver will be above these numbers going forward and don't want to get stuck paying for products they can't sell for a profit.

I can't blame them myself, I would sure be apprehensive if I was a dealer not being able to read a set of tarot cards and believing in them.

As on Wednesday January 31st and for the end of January, the US Mint has shipped 3,235,000 ASE's and 3,235,000 YTD.,

This is the lowest monthly total for any January going back to 2009 to find one lower, not a great way to come back from a really bad year, but there are still 11 more months in the year and no telling what will take place.
