The 1-ounce, .999 fine 2020-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle notched first-day sales of 98,682 coins, according to U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White.
Released Wednesday for $54, the single-day tally could have been higher had the coin’s product page not had it listed as "currently unavailable" following its launch.
Its status remains unchanged as of this writing, with a "Remind Me" option provided on the page to sign up for an email notice when the Mint takes orders again.
For reference, last year’s issue registered five-day starting sales of 82,784 coins. Priced at $46.95, it is also listed as currently unavailable. The Mint’s latest sales report had it up 201 pieces for the week ended July 5, lifting its total to 140,801 coins.
