Proof sets could hardly perform better for the US Mint and bullion silver eagles continue to flash forward at a striking pace. The numbers do the talking…
-
In a single week, 37,232 more Mint Proof Sets sets were sold, bringing the total to 888,329 since June 1.
-
As of July 17, collectors purchased an arresting 350,572 Silver Proof Sets with 79,200 added in a week.
-
And to top it off, American Eagle Silver bullion coins sprung past 16 million for the year and 2,585,000 for a yet to be completed July — already registering the second best month and continuing at a record-setting yearly pace.
Other US Mint coin sales were less brag worthy. Ultra High Relief $20 Gold coin demand was nearly unchanged. 865 more were sold compared to the prior 868. Better numbers should kick in next week as a result of the Mint’s coin limit unleashing on Monday.
Also on Monday, American Samoa quarter bags and rolls went on sale. First week sales figures will appear next week. More importantly for this week, rolls and bags of Guam quarters went off sale. The numbers reported below will be close to final. 100-coin bags and two-roll set sales rose between 1.8 percent and 3.0 percent.
