The 2011-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle was released last weak and the coin debuted with huge sale numbers, proving that demand for both silver and collectible coins is still in full-tilt. The United States Mint reported five-day sales of more than $11-million since its launch on Thursday, September 15.
At its opening price of $60.45, the exact sales total was $11,181,255.15. The unit total came in at 184,967 for a daily sales average of 30,827 coins, although the bulk of the uncirculated Silver Eagle orders were likely placed during the first and second day.
The unit debut amount for the Uncirculated Silver Eagles was enough to make the debut the fourth best in U.S. Mint numismatic product releases this year, falling behind the 2011-W Proof American Silver Eagle (253,144), the 2011 Silver Proof Set (209,367) and the 2011 Mint Set (191,391).
The debut numbers for this coin are staggering, yet it was only the fourth best debut of the ear. This is an amazing statistic, once again proving that you should do your best to invest in some silver if you can.
Orders for the 2011 Uncirculated Silver Eagle may be placed directly on the United States Mint website, or simply by calling the Mint’s toll free number 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468). Good luck!
