U.S. Mint sales of the 2020-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle totaled 98,682 in the first day
The 1-ounce, .999 fine 2020-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle notched first-day sales of 98,682 coins, according to U.S. Mint spokesman Michael White.
Released Wednesday for $54, the single-day tally could have been higher had the coin’s product page not had it listed as "currently unavailable" following its launch.
Its status remains unchanged as of this writing, with a "Remind Me" option provided on the page to sign up for an email notice when the Mint takes orders again.
For reference, last year’s issue registered five-day starting sales of 82,784 coins. Priced at $46.95, it is also listed as currently unavailable. The Mint’s latest sales report had it up 201 pieces for the week ended July 5, lifting its total to 140,801 coins.
Mike Unser where did you get those numbers for the 2019w? Yes the mints latest sales report had it up 201 pieces for the week ending July 5, but the mints calculation comes out to 138,161 not the140,801 that you have listed above, making it the low mintage burnished champ if the mint doesn’t resume sales.
Gary, I also included the 66 units sold of bulk 40 coins, which added 2,640.
I didn’t know thank you mike
I’ve gotten 2 email reminders of the product being available again but when I go to the site still not available. And I go a few minutes after I got the reminder. I think that function doesn’t work. Why not let you at least back order them since there is no mintage limit?
Mint seems to be late when they send those. I have received the alert a few days after something becomes available. I tend to check daily anyways when there is something i really want.
I guess not many people were worried about the Big $7.05 price increase. Mike Mezack got his 20,000+ Understand!!! lol
What if any difference is there in this release and the one earlier this year when I purchased one for, $64.50
The one that you purchased earlier this year is the proof finish. This one is a burnished finish and looks similar to the bullion but with the W Mint mark. They cost less because they are regular blanks not specially polished and stuck as many times as the proof. Hope you have a great weekend.
