The year 2008 was one that most people will remember. The United States was facing tumultuous economic times. The global financial crisis created a wave interest in gold bullion as investors sought safe-haven assets. This spike also caused Gold Eagle bullion and collector coin sales to dramatically increase. For example, during the first six months of the year, 2008 Gold Eagle bullion coins sold around the typical levels of the previous years. Starting after mid-year, sales increased exponentially which forced the U.S Mint to suspend gold bullion coin sales in August. Sales resumed two weeks later on a rationed basis, which limited the number of coins that could be ordered by authorized dealers. Despite the suspension and rationing,�sales had exceeded 800,000 cumulative ounces by the years end.
