US Mint Silver Coin Sales Drop – Mar 26

US Mint silver coin sales statsFewer collectors have been buying United States Mint silver coins and sets lately, according to the latest Mint sales stats.

However, part of the drop off is almost certainly due to interest in newly released coins and sets, including the launch of the Braille Silver Dollars Thursday and the 2009 Quarters Silver Proof Set on Monday. (Sales figures for these coins should begin appearing next week.)

In other silver coin news, the 2009 Lincoln Commemorative Silver Dollars are nearly gone. The uncirculated version sold out Tuesday and the proof coin probably has a matter of a few hours to a few days — with a lean toward hours. A total of 447,868 Lincoln $1s are now sold, leaving 2,132 proofs left to the buying public.

50 State Quarters Silver Proof Set sales ended Monday when the US Mint replaced them with the 2009 silver quarters. The final sales figures for these should be available next week.

Here are the latest numbers:
