In the realm of news for silver coins, it has been a busy couple of weeks for United States Mint 5 ounce issues.

The latest batch of US Mint sales stats includes two new five-ounce silver coins and a notable achievement for the 2011 Silver Proof Set. First, to the set…

Issued on January 25, the 2011 Silver Proof Set topped 400,000 in sales this week by gaining 6,002. The 400,000 level would have been reached earlier had the set not been suspended for several weeks. The US Mint in April halted their sale, along with its other silver sets, as silver prices soared above $40 an ounce and then toward $50. The 2011 Silver Proof Set remained off sale from mid-April until its return in early May. This year’s set has a ways to go before catching last year’s issue, however. Still on sale, the 2010 Silver Proof Set advanced 1,685 and now stands at 564,667. Read More…

The United States Mint released the 2010-P Yellowstone National Park 5 Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin today, May 17, at 12 noon Eastern Time for $279.95.
