Here's a little excerpt and excellent graph from an article entitled The Coming Paradigm Shift In Silver.

The U.S. Mint does not provide the public with annual records of exact dollar sales of their Gold and Silver Eagles.To get the figures below, the annual sales of silver and gold eagles were multiplied by their respective average yearly price reported by Kitco.com.

In times of worry in the financial system, the public regains confidence through buying gold and silver assets. During the Y2K scare, we can see that Americans were putting a great deal more money in Gold Eagles over Silver Eagles. In 1999 the public was buying 12 times the amount of money in gold than silver. Today, we see that investors are spending almost the same amount of money in both precious metals.
