The US Mint's 2025 Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars are here, but sales are down. Plus, a look at the Mint's other offerings.
Alright, New Yorkers, let's talk silver. The US Mint dropped the 2025 Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars, but the numbers are lookin' a little soft. What's the deal?
Mint Drops New Silver, But Sales Dip
The US Mint launched the 2025-P Uncirculated Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars on July 10th, priced at $91 a pop. In the first four days, they moved 217,820 coins combined. Not bad, right? Well, last year's issues sold 349,029 in the same time frame. And the 2023 editions? Forget about it—they sold out like hotcakes, hitting 547,697 coins at a cheaper $76 each.
Breaking it down, the 2025 Morgan Silver Dollar snagged 111,014 sales, while the 2025 Peace Silver Dollar landed 106,806. Each has a product limit of 150,000 coins, while the 2024 versions are capped at 275,000 each.
Other Mint Happenings
It's not just the Morgan and Peace Dollars making news. The 250th Anniversary Army 2025-W Proof American Silver Eagle saw a bump, reaching 96,776. This coin had a wild ride, initially selling out fast, then reappearing for pre-sale. Gotta keep an eye on these limited releases!
What's Selling?
The Mint's been busy, pushin' out 569 numismatic products. Sales momentum's been a bit up and down, but some products are still flyin' off the shelves. They also launched the Comic Art Coin & Medal Program with DC Comics, starting with Superman. Those silver medals ain't cheap, though - $275 for a 2.5-ounce and $135 for the 1-ounce. The gold coin price is tied to the market, so who knows what that'll cost ya.
The Takeaway
Listen, the US Mint's always got something new cooking. Whether it's classic designs like the Morgan and Peace Dollars or newfangled stuff like the Superman coins, there's something for every collector. But remember, prices can fluctuate, and limited editions go quick. So, do your homework and get ready to pounce if you see something you like.
Final Thoughts
So, are the new Morgan and Peace Dollars worth it? That's up to you, pal. But keep an eye on those sales figures and maybe snag one before they disappear. After all, who doesn't love a little shiny silver?
