US Mint Sales: 2016 Bullion Silver Eagles Top 25 Million
June 24, 2016 by Silver Coins Today · Leave a Comment
The U.S. Mint’s 2016 Silver Proof Set continues to reign among silver products, according to the latest round of sales stats. Collectors picked up 5,288 during the week ended June 19, which pushed their total to 218,010 sold.
Bullion 2016 American Silver Eagles are running at a record pace, topping 25 million for the year.
This year’s set will continue to dominate until the newest 5-ounce piece, which depicts Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia, becomes available on July 11.
In the long haul, the only collectible that will consistently win against the set is the 2016 Proof American Silver Eagle. It’s not available yet. In a typical year, collector editions of American Silver Eagles would have launched months ago. This year marks the 30th anniversary of their first issues, and in commemoration of this event their edges are changing from reeded to smooth and lettered. This is delaying their release.
In investor-related news, sales of bullion 2016 American Silver Eagles hit 25,252,500. The amount is nearly 25% higher than same time sales in 2015. Demand for them has weakened in the last few weeks, however. The U.S. Mint produces about 1 million each week. Just 468,000 sold last week and only 457,000 more have been claimed through Thursday. Unsold amounts are added into the pool, driving weekly Silver Eagle allocations higher. This week, the U.S. Mint said it would sell up to 2,204,500 coins. More of those will likely move by the end of today. Demand for bullion shot higher Friday with the U.K. voting on Thursday to exit the European Union. Investors are now seeking safe-havens like gold and silver.
The table below shows the latest sales stats for collector coins and related silver products from the U.S. Mint. Sunday, June 19, is the as of date for the standard collectibles and Thursday, June 23, is the as of date for the bullion products.
