Leading in the latest U.S. Mint sales stats was the 2014-W Proof American Silver Eagle. Buyers picked up 14,774 of last year’s issue, compared to just 3,423 of the 2015-dated Silver Eagle, during the week.

Last week, collectors preferred the older proof Silver Eagle versus the new one

It was the second time this month that sales of the older coin outpaced the newer one. This most recent surge pushed the total for the 2014 Eagles up to 821,997 and the 2015 total to 514,772.

In the previous sales round, the 2015 Dwight D. Eisenhower Coin & Chronicles Set was the clear front-runner when 16,820 sold in the first few minutes of its release. The set is currently "Unavailable" according to the Mint’s product page, so its sales number crept up by just 10 since the prior count. With its release, there is renewed interest in the 2014 Franklin Roosevelt Coin & Chronicles Set. It spurred to a sudden gain of 729 to 14,827 after the set experienced slower advances that averaged 143 per week over that past six weeks.

The table below shows the latest sales stats for collector coins and related silver products from the US Mint. Sunday, August 16, is the as of date.
