Demand for gold coins in the US has soared since the presidential election, as small investors fret about the lack of action to address America’s ballooning debt.
The US Mint’s sales of American Eagles, one of the most popular gold coins, leapt 131 per cent in November, hitting their highest level in more than two years. The Royal Canadian Mint also had its strongest month of sales this year.
Terry Hanlon, president of metals at Dillon Gage, one of the largest bullion dealers in the country, said sales had risen sharply “within a day or two” of the election.
“You’ve got a lot of people who are very worried about the economy. With the election they saw that nothing was going to change,” he said.

Interesting speculative disagreement between dear wife & I...
"for once".
She thinks it's just an "unresolved Fiscal Cliff panicky effect".
... that it will resolve in big sell off of the same PM buyers soon thereafter the MSPM (MainStream Propaganda Media) will have served their FAKEDNews to the people living in LA-LA-LAND that "everything's gonna be OK, Reps. and Dems. have managed to compromise, gimme this, I give ya that, etc."
Dunno if she's right or wrong ... but she's the American one over here, I take it she knows her folks.
While I was more assuming that the kind of people who start worrying and put their greens in PMs do it for a longer term, politically involved or not, they know about money better than average, etc...
Thoughts, patriots ?

Uh...she wearing blinders?
Very few long metal investors are looking at "fiscal cliff" as a major input. I would think very few long metal investors are seriously watching the MSM period. They are watching the fed once again gobble up treasuries and the inflationary inputs of the Fed keeping near zero interest rates. They are watching LIBOR making an open mockery of the financial markets and computer trading making same of Wall St. They are watching HSBC get off the hook for money laundering along with all other forms of naked fraudsters.
Meanwhile there's just not much joy when you parse down employment, credit expansion at the consumer level indicates a very plain student debt bubble (student debt now exceeds credit card debt) and that curve is holding up the consumer credit market-ha ha. Housing numbers seem suspicious and we're trying to see how we can back out foreign buyers--and that's a global flight to safe haven...
In short, I don't see metals being anything but a continued safe haven.

LOL. No worries.
LOL. No worries. Dear wife is the smartest creature I've ever seen or even imagined ... in her own ways. She's a killer in reading people and events, anyway - speaking out of experience.
"In short, I don't see metals being anything but a continued safe haven."
She never questioned that, of course.
But she feels fairly less optimistic than I am as to whether the people is actually waking up to real money (even if timidly) or not. What I was interested in / speculating about.
I suppose it's still a bit too early and that remains mostly open.
I don't forget our own point of view, though sound, is likely biased more or less, too.

Look at paper-money history. Value disappears by & by.
Mean-time-to-failure is ~ 38 years. Cataclysmic failure = 100% lost value. United States Dollar as Fed Notes has lost 94% of its 1913 value. Purchasing value in the village market.
Exceptions are few are far between.
From memory. Don't recall exactly. The British Pound Sterling is hearsay. Approximately 150 paper-money rackets came & went by & by.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution, inevitable.
You collect money when you buy.
If you sell silver coin, I hope you receive something of value.
