2019-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle – obverse, case and reverse
The 2019-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle realized sales of 82,784 in five days

The United States Mint’s newest American Silver Eagle was its best-selling numismatic product of the week.

Released last Wednesday, May 29, the 1-ounce .999 fine uncirculated Silver Eagle from West Point logged 5-day sales of 82,784 for the slowest start in the annual series to date.

Sales of the past seven issues opened at 89,482 (2018); 111,224 (2017); 134,925 (2016); 127,872 (2015); 106,349 (2014); 104,570 (2013); and 123,801 (2012). After not having been produced for two years, pent-up demand boosted sales of the 2011-W Uncirculated Silver Eagle. It debuted with early sales of 184,967.

Elsewhere, the American Legion Silver Dollar and Medal Set moved up another 1,054 units for a 14-day total of 8,466. The set is near 85% of its maximum sales.

Mike, thank you once again for the updated numbers.

As for the Silver Eagle; I love silver, but I’m not paying $46.95 for a Silver Eagle, when I can purchase a five ounce bar for under $90.00.

Nice coin, but I love the silver bars.
