Proof silver American Eagles have landed below. The first number is 233,010 sold in the first three days of availability. The 2017 issue has the traditional reeded edge, unlike last year’s edge letting to mark the 30th anniversary of the silver Eagle.

Bullion Eagle sales did not go backwards, but then they hardly moved forwards. In a week, only 25,000 silver Eagle bullion coins were taken by Authorized Purchasers. The March total stands at just 1,320,000 pieces. Next week we will find out if that’s all there is for the month.
