Proof Eagles in shadow of baseball

The baseball silver dollar has sold out, so the sales numbers on this page are now simply curiosities compiled by the Mint on April 6. Only the clad half dollar remains available to collectors. The gold $5 coins sold out in one day.

More room had to be made for Presidential coins and America the Beautiful quarters, so numbers for bags and rolls start at the bottom of this page now.

The Perry quarter just moved to sold-out status this week, so it can be removed perhaps as soon as next week, depending on other space needs.

Proof American Eagle coin sales have begun and the 2014 numbers will eventually appear below, however because the quarter-ounce and tenth-ounce 2013 numbers were still changing, I decided simply to list initial 2014 numbers in this space. Buyers have taken 3,676 one-ouncers, 833 half-ouncers, 1,019 quarter-ouncers, and 2,641 tenth-ouncers. They have also purchased 2,535 of the full four-coin sets. That’s a mediocre start, but with baseball coins, who has time for proof American Eagles?
