US Mint Sales: Four Older Silver Sets Spark

During a week when most silver coin sales slowed, four products charged forward with higher numbers, and those elite four have been on the market since 2013.

Purchases of the 2013 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set grew by 1,405 in this round, after increasing by 1,282 previously. It was the third time in a row for the set with the 2013 Proof Silver Eagle to outperform its prior weekly sales. As of this report, a total of 40,775 have been ordered. The 2014 version is not due out until May.

Next, the 2013 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set edged out its prior performance 461 to 443. This six coin silver set has all of last year’s Presidential $1 Coins, the Native American $1 Coin, and a 2013 Uncirculated Silver Eagle. Over these last six weeks, its weekly sales averaged 401, and to-date 31,410 have been purchased.

The remaining two products to surge were the 2013 Theodore Roosevelt Coin and Chronicles Set, which added 194 following a week with 185 new buys, and the 2013 Silver Proof Set, which jumped by 116. What is so unusual about the 2013 Silver Proof Set’s advancement is the fact that it has been unavailable for more than a week. In the prior report, consumers picked up 60 of them, just before the U.S. Mint halted their sales.

In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector silver coins and related products from the US Mint. Sunday, Feb. 23, 2014 is the “as of” date.
