What do the graphs tell you?

What do the graphs tell you?

They tell me that silver is cheaper than gold, and that lots have been sold of both.

[UKSILVERCOINS]

was shocked to see Australian Siver Coins at 5th position with just 5.3M oz. Why is that? Thought they would have been more popular than say Philharmonics.

[Danny-boy]

I guess it's down to cost. Phillys are generally the cheapest legal tender silver available.

There are more gold coins sold in terms of value than silver coins. Didn't think it would be like that. I guess most people seem to prefer gold as an investment then.

Can't believe the gold maples out performed the gold eagles either, sure sign they have to up the fineness.

Nice charts, thanks for this.

Thanks for providing this data.  I was actually just trying to find the figures myself but couldn't seem to find them anywhere haha. 

 

So in 2013 alone 42 million silver eagles sold, 8 million silver pandas sold etc.  Pretty damn high mintage figures going on!  And interesting to note no Britannia's, either silver or gold?  So that means Britannias are more exclusive! 

 

 

It'll be interesting to see what the 2014 figures will be like.  I imagine Australian silver my go up a bit due to the new cheaper crocodile coins.  They won't go up enough to challenge Panda's in 4th spot though.  It'll also be interesting to see if the total gold & silver figures go up in 2014?  Which I seem to think is very likely.

 

I still can't believe philharmonics are so popular though?  They must be very popular in Europe I'm guessing?

Also remember that these graphs do not reflect the amount of silver that is sold in the form of bars.  Most superannuation investors would be buying their silver in low premium, high ounce bars instead of coins.

What do the graphs tell you?

 

That someone has too much time on their hands and enjoys making graphs?

 

Buy More Pandas? lol

Remember the new Gold standard is the 99.99 1kg bar not the old UK USA 400oz 995 bar.  If small investors are looking to hold Gold for a long time it makes sense to buy the new standard if it is the same price.

What's the new silver standard?  I.e. what size bars are they mostly stored in now?

That is a lot of metal stacked away, when the dump comes the market will be flooded with supply and drop again, when we exit...exit fast i reckon. Wait and re-buy.
