September 26, 2013 by Rhonda Kay · Leave a Comment
Weekly sales for 2013-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle Coins were the highest they have been in eleven weeks, the latest United States Mint stats revealed.
Many coin collectors are drawn to this version for their lower mintages among the series Silver Eagles. Sales for last year’s individually-sold strike made it up to 202,504 and the 2011-dated coin was last reported at 309,927. Those numbers pale in comparison to the proof version’s sales that exceeded 800,000 in 2011 and 2012.
In the latest round of figures, collectors snapped up 6,353 of the 2013-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle versus 2,143 in the previous week. With that jump, sales reached 141,238.
Other products seeing high demand were the 2013-W Proof American Silver Eagle that advanced by 15,463 to clock in at 755,105, and the ever popular 2013 Silver Proof Set that added another 7,522 to its total, which is now 312,189.
In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector silver coins and related products from the US Mint. Sunday, September 22, is the "as of" date.
