Sales of the 2014-W Proof Silver Eagle moved backwards

There could be several reasons for the sudden decline. The U.S. Mint has a 7 day return policy, allowing dissatisfied customers to return a product for any reason within seven days of receiving it, and the Mint allows order cancellations prior to processing. Other reasons may be accounting adjustments or incomplete processing such as conflicted credit card information.

During a normal week, these one-ounce 99.9% pure silver coins are top sellers. They debuted on Jan. 23 and were hot for five weeks straight. The following table shows a breakdown of weekly sales:
