August 19, 2009 by Darrin Lee Unser · Leave a Comment
It was another strong week for at least two US mint silver coin products. American Silver Eagles shined and the 18-coin Silver Proof Set commanded coin collector’s attention.
In another huge weekly leap, Bullion American Silver Eagles jumped 475,000. That follows last week’s impressive 430,00 gain. The tally for August is up to 1,105,000, and the total for 2009 is now at 17,739,500. These are record-setting paces.
For collector coins and sets, the 2009 Silver Proof Set remains the leader. The US Mint sold 17,277 more since the last report when an additional 20,716 had been purchased. 423,732 is the new total.
The following two table have the latest US Mint stats for collector silver coins and sets and bullion silver eagles.
