2015 Proof Silver Eagle Coins Outpace other Silver Product Sales

2015-W Proof American Silver Eagle Coins sharply out-paced sales of all other numismatic silver products combined, U.S. Mint weekly sales charts show. In all, buyers picked up 20,275 proof Silver Eagles compared to just 4,675 in other silver products. Of course, it’s also the only 2015-dated silver collectible released so far.

The collectible American Silver Eagles launched on January 2, and as of January 18, a total of 284,625 sold, leaving no doubt that the one ounce .999 fine silver coins with their walking Liberty design is wildly popular.

On the other hand, while that number may seem high, it is still trailing the initial sales of last year’s coin which hit 307,378 in its first 4 days on the market.

2015 American Silver Eagle Coins are also booming in another market. During the past week, the U.S. Mint sold 954,500 of the bullion version to its select network of Authorized Purchasers. Since released on January 12, a total of 4,656,000 have flown off Mint shelves.

It is possible for Silver Eagle bullion sales in January 2015 to overtake those from January 2014, since that end-of-month total was 4,775,000. It will be harder, however, to beat January 2013 sales, which is still an all-time monthly record at 7,498,000.

In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector coins and related silver products from the US Mint. Sunday, January 18, is the as of date.
