2015 Homestead 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coin Sales Start

Investor-quality 2015 America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coins finally launched with sales of the Homestead sliver coin hitting 14,200 orders on the first day. The U.S. Mint launched the coins Tuesday, February 17 through its network of Authorized Purchasers.

These large, three-inch diameter 99.9% fine silver pieces feature an image on their reverse that is symbolic of Homestead National Monument of America, located in Nebraska. The bullion versions lack the Philadelphia mintmark and recognizable U.S. Mint packaging that accompanies its collector counterpart. The collector uncirculated version will enter the marketplace next month, on March 5.

Initial demand for the new Homestead silver coins is down compared to the debut of the prior strike from last November, honoring Everglades National Park in Florida. The older coin started with 22,000 in sales during its first day. Florida is a much larger populated state so there is some benefit there. The Everglades coin was last year’s top-selling five ounce silver coin with ending sales of 34,000.

Switching to sales stats for the U.S. Mint’s numismatic products, the spotlight shined the brightest on 2015 US Marshals Service 225th Anniversary Silver Dollars. Collectors scooped up 10,051 of the proof and 3,430 of the uncirculated strikes during the week.

The only other white metal product feeling demand at a similar level was the 2015-W Proof American Silver Eagle Coin. It gained 3,789 which sort of made up for the decline of -3,439 in the prior weekly report.

In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector coins and related silver products from the US Mint. Sunday, February 15, is the as of date.
