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.
