January 31, 2014 by · Leave a Comment 

What was the biggest seller last week according to the United States Mint sales stats? It was the 2014-W Proof American Eagle Silver Coin, of course.

2014 Proof Silver Eagle Coin and 2014 Quarters Silver Proof Set

US Mint starting sales for the 2014 Proof Silver Eagle Coin and 2014 Quarters Silver Proof Set were revealed this week

Consumers scooped up 307,378 of them between Thursday, January 23 and Sunday, January 26. Its inaugural sales beat those of last year’s strike, which had started with 258,860 during its first weekend of sales that ran from Thursday to Monday.

One difference was the initial price. The 2014 proof Silver Eagle is $52.95, or $10 less than the opening price of the 2013-dated coin. These coins are struck in 99.9% fine silver and weigh one troy ounce. US Mint prices of products containing precious metals may change periodically with fluctuations of their melt value prices.

Bullion sales of American Silver Eagles also experienced exceptional sales. Authorized buyers of the investment coins bought 786,000 of them since last Wednesday. With this jump, January sales shot up to 4,755,000.

One more numismatic product debuted last week in the silver category and it may have been overshadowed by the proof Silver Eagle launch. It was the 2014 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set. Introduced on Tuesday, January 21, collectors took in 46,634 sets by Sunday. Demand for the sets fell short of the 2013 ATB Quarters Silver Proof Sets initial release, which hit 49,051 in their first week.

In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector silver coins and related products from the US Mint. Sunday, Jan. 26, is the “as of” date.
