Collector Silver Eagles Lead Sales After US Holiday
September 10, 2014 by Rhonda Kay · Leave a Comment
The U.S. Labor Day holiday, unofficially marking the end of summer for most families, looks to have slowed demand last week for silver coins, based on the latest sales stats from United States Mint. The numismatic silver coin to lead sales turned out to be the 2014-W Proof Silver Eagle, but its sales were down from a stellar gain of 12,193 in the prior round to an addition of 5,944 in the most recent one.
Surprisingly, the 2014 Uncirculated Silver Eagle coin was the next best seller, not the 2014 Silver Proof Set. The uncirculated silver coin sprung up 5,205 compared to 1,189 previously. The jump was the highest for the uncirculated coin since mid-July when 9,260 were scooped up in a single week. They have been on the market since April 10.
Other surprises involved products that had been off the market. Sales for 2013 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set fell by 6, and Great Smoky Mountain Uncirculated 5 Ounce Silver Coins climbed by 19. Both products went off sale in May. Then, the 2013 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set jumped by 116 to hit 43,156 after being unavailable since the first of September.
In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector coins and related silver products from the US Mint. Sunday, September 7, is the as of date.
