Great Sand Dunes 5 Oz Bullion Coins Debut, Lead Sales

August 28, 2014 by · Leave a Comment 

In the latest United States Mint sales stats, it seemed like there was more action for bullion coins than numismatic silver coins. In particular, the newest America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Bullion Coin debuted on Monday, August 25, and stole the spotlight.

Great Sand Dunes National Park Quarter

5 ounce silver bullion coins share the same design as their companion quarters.

Intended for investors, the Great Sand Dunes National Park 5 Ounce Silver Coin started off with first-day sales of 3,400. By Wednesday, United States Mint Authorized Purchasers (APs) ordered more and the total grew to 7,500.

Compared to the three earlier bullion issues this year, demand for the Great Sand Dunes silver coin was subtle in the early going. 2014 Great Smoky Mountains silver coins opened at 10,500 on its first day in March, and the Shenandoah strike hit 14,800 in its first 24 hour period last May. In June, the 2014 Arches silver coins experienced 5,500 initial orders. As of Wednesday, sales for all four 2014 America the Beautiful bullion coins moved forward.

Action in the numismatic arena centered around the 2014 Silver Proof Set. It gained 2,626 while the 2014-W Proof Silver Eagle advanced 2,021. Neither product outperformed its prior week’s sales, when their totals climbed by 3,001 and 12,726 respectively.

In the table below are the latest sales stats for collector coins and related silver products from the US Mint. Monday, August 25, is the as of date.
