Debut sales figures are available for newly released Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial Five Ounce Silver Coins.
Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin (Collector Version)
Two versions of the silver coins were released last week, one intended for investors that has a brilliant finish and without a mint mark and another produced for collectors that has a satin uncirculated finish and a mint mark of "P." Each is actually produced at the Philadelphia Mint using a special press.
Both coins are from their respective series of America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Coins, sharing identical designs that are replicated from the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial Quarter, the second of this year’s 2013 America the Beautiful Quarters. The silver coins, however, are struck in five ounces of 99.9% pure silver and to a diameter of 3.0 inches.
These silver coins are sold differently with the collector version available straight from the United States Mint website (www.usmint.gov) and the second only available through secondary market sources like coin and precious metals dealers. The U.S. Mint offers sales update on a weekly basis for the collector coin and up to a daily update, if any are sold, for the bullion coin.
