The Perth Mint have announced that the 1oz silver Kookaburra coin for 2014 has sold out. Before 2014. Not quite sure what to make of a bullion coin that’s gone before it’s time, but it’s surely a good sign for purchasers. Clearly, with American Silver Eagles, Canadian Silver Maples and Perth Mint Lunars all selling out quicker than a politician at a lobbyist convention, the physical silver market isn’t feeling much of a downturn from the volatile pricing of late. Indeed, last years Kookaburra took until early May to sell out.

The sell out is from the Perth Mint itself, so dealer supplies won’t dry up overnight, but it doesn’t take a genius to work out that margins on them will start to rise, so if you’re looking to stack the bird, now’s probably as good a time as any.

Also, hidden amongst the statement is the following “We also have exciting news pending about the release of a special, limited mintage gold bullion coin. Full details will be announced in January.” Interesting, especially if margins aren’t excessive. More when we know.
