Bullion sales began slowly in March. In fact, the pace is so lackadaisical that no gold Buffalo coins have yet been sold this month. I have left February numbers in the space.

The gold Centennial coins have been moved to space below from a location on the opposite page. The gold Walker sold an additional 232 coins to reach 61,573. The gold Standing Liberty quarter was absent from the sales list, but is still available on the website.
