This is an example of how data is distorted by pundits, economists, and the media.  Sales of American Silver Eagle coins are momentarily down, month-over-month.  According to the experts (i.e. silver bears who completely misjudged the bull market in silver), this is a sign of declining demand, much like a decline in new home sales, for example.  Ergo, prices must come down, is the line of thinking.

However, unlike housing demand, which is countered by bulging inventory, there is a physical shortage of silver coins.  In other words, the reason why investors can't buy silver coins is due to lack of inventory--not because there is declining demand.  As a matter of fact, demand is booming among both investors and industrial consumers, and supply cannot keep up.

But leave it up to the anti-silver crowd to use their spin tactics to hoodwink the public.
