December 12, 2013 by Rhonda Kay · Leave a Comment
There are no more 2013 America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coins, at least from the United States Mint.
The sellout of the final two versions occurred Tuesday, December 10, when U.S. Mint distributors ordered the last of the Perry’s Victory coins and Great Basin coins.
Sales halted at 30,000 which meant the 2013 Perry’s Victory 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coins rose by 2,900 and the 2013 Great Basin 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coins gained 1,400. This was the same maximum mintage as the Fort McHenry coins that sold out on November 19.
White Mountain coins sold out in September, and Mount Rushmore bullion coins maxed out in November, but their sales ended at 35,000 each. A breakdown of all five of the 99.9% pure silver bullion coins are found in the tables below.
Only a special group of authorized purchasers who order in bulk can buy investment-grade bullion coins from the United States Mint. For most of the time, a minimum order for the five ouncers was 500 coins or 2,500 ounces. Those buyers then resell the coins to other precious metal and coin dealers as well as to the public for a moderate premium over the spot price of the precious metal the coins contain.
In collector products, demand took off again for 2013 Silver Proof Sets. Their sales increased by 11,585 after gaining 7,248 in the previous round. Current sales hit 389,857. It will not be long until their total passes last year’s set, which was 395,443.
In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector silver coins and related products from the US Mint. Sunday, Dec. 8, is the “as of” date.
