Silver Coins Today
Rhonda Kay

U.S. Mint sales are on fire for 2013-dated bullion silver coins but numismatic products through the first seven days of the January were a little sluggish as collectors wait for new releases there.

The most purchased U.S. Mint silver products aside from bullion were the 2012 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, the 2012-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle coin and the 2012 Silver Proof Set.

At the top with 2,303 new orders was the Limited Edition Silver Proof Set. The latest gain boosted total sales up to 33,370 since its November 7 release. This set carries eight silver coins, one of which being the proof American Silver Eagle coin from West Point. The product is described by the Mint as limited because of its published maximum mintage is 50,000.

Following in its wake were the 2012-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle coin with 1,806 sales and the 2012 Silver Proof Set with 1,686 sales. Both of these products hav,e been on the market longer. Between August 2 and January 7, the uncirculated Silver Eagle coins have accumulated 185,068 total orders, and the total for the Silver Proof Set landed at 395,443 between June 4 and January 3. The U.S. Mint officially took the 2012 Silver Proof Set off-sale last week.

The new bullion 2013 American Eagle silver coins exploded withrecord one-day sales of 3,937,000 on their January 7 release. The silver coins jumped another 350,000 on the 8th and then 345,000 more on the 10th. Sales for January are at 4,632,000. There are only two months higher in the 27-history of the series. They both happen to be January’s — sales of 6,422,000 in January 2011 and sales of 6,107,000 in January 2012.
