American Eagle gold coin sales in February more than quadrupled year-over-year as bullion prices surged to a one-year high, US Mint data showed on Monday, confirming anecdotal information that the rally has spurred a flurry of demand.
In February, the mint sold 83 500 oz of American Eagle gold coins, down 33% from a four-month high reached in January but more than four times the 18 500 oz sold in February 2015, the data showed.
