US Silver Coin Sales: Silver Sets Decline, Braille Dollars Rise
June 17, 2009 by Silver Coins Today · Leave a Comment
The newest Mint sales figures show Braille Silver Dollars rising and silver sets declining, a 180-degree reversal compared to the prior week’s numbers.
Considering the uncirculated Braille coins actually went through a negative correction last time, there is little surprise they moved higher, but only by 499.
The silver DC & US Territories Quarters added another 10,374 for a total of 189,656 sets sold. Not bad, but the level is weaker than prior weeks. Sales of the other two silver sets — especially the 2008 US Mint Silver Proof Set — were also lower, as shown below.

In related silver coins news, the US Mint ended silver eagle rationing on Monday, which should lead to lower premiums on the bullion coins and perhaps minting of 2009 collector silver eagles sooner instead of much later.
