Bullion American Silver Eagle sales in October more than doubled their sales from September, and the individual proof version for collectors recently rallied as well.
In the bullion coin domain, October’s ending number for Silver Eagles landed at 3,825,000 after reaching 1,675,000 in September, which was an increase of 128.4 percent. It was also a 1% gain over October of last year when they hit 3,788,000. The new monthly total was the highest since May 2016.
For this year’s first ten month period, sales hit 34,400,500 coins, but that number was 13.7% lower than the same time frame in 2015, when 39,842,500 coins had sold.
On the numismatic side, demand for the 2016-W Proof Silver Eagle returned more enthusiastically, per the U.S. Mint’s latest weekly report, to the tune of 11,558 new orders. In the previous round only 650 were sold. These additions pushed its total to 435,847. Sales also accelerated for the 2016 Silver Proof Set, which advanced by 7,005 compared to 5,476 previously, and the 2016 Ronald Reagan Coin & Chronicles Set gained 4,124 versus its earlier pick up of 3,190.
