Annually issued since 1992, the Silver Proof Set is one of Mint’s flagship products. Even with fewer days in its first reported sales total, this year’s set scored five-day sales of 191,670 for the best start since the one from 2011. Higher purity silver coins and a bonus reverse proof Lincoln cent carrying the West Point Mint’s "W" mint mark are credited for boosting the set’s sales.

Mike, thank you for the updated numbers.

I am really surprised that only 60% of the “Apollo 5-Ounce Coins” have been sold. And how many of those buyers, like myself, purchased multiples.

The “American Legion” coin sales are pathetic.

I did purchase the “Three Coin Set.”

ATB lover

It is Surprise for 2019 Silver proof set which sold only 191K sets, I expected at least 250k sold because the “W” reverse penny .and 1st issue of .999 silver. I guess coin collecting hobby are DYING . I am suffer heavy lost of Buying Coin back to 1986-2019 from US Mint.

Call customer service. They will take care of it.

also look carefully – on mine, it was just loose in the shipping box so I almost didn’t notice it.

Silver & gold coins will allways have value over time.
