US Mint Sales: 2014 Proof Silver Eagle Dives

Sales of 2014-W Proof American Eagle silver coins took a nose dive last week, according to the latest United States Mint sales stats. As of Sunday, March 2, 2014, the total for the Proof Silver Eagles ended at 365,188, falling 9,420 from the total reported a week ago.

There could be several reasons for the sudden decline. The U.S. Mint has a 7 day return policy, allowing dissatisfied customers to return a product for any reason within seven days of receiving it, and the Mint allows order cancellations prior to processing. Other reasons may be accounting adjustments or incomplete processing such as conflicted credit card information.

During a normal week, these one-ounce 99.9% pure silver coins are top sellers. They debuted on Jan. 23 and were hot for five weeks straight. The following table shows a breakdown of weekly sales:
