A Hot Start for the 2025 Proof Set
The U.S. Mint’s 2025 Proof Set is stealing the show, with 211,757 units sold in just six days after its March 4 release. This 10-coin set, featuring sharp, shiny versions of the year’s circulating coins, is a hit with collectors. With no new products launched last week, buyers are snapping up favorites like the Proof Set and the 2025-W Proof American Silver Eagle, keeping the Mint’s sales buzzing.
Why the Pause in New Releases?
The U.S. Mint took a break from releasing new products in late May, focusing attention on existing items. This pause comes as the Mint adjusts to rising material and labor costs, which led to a price hike for clad products starting January 2, 2025. Rolls, bags, and coin boxes went up by 5%, while other clad items jumped 15%. The Mint also reported sales adjustments for some products, like the 2025 William McKinley Presidential Silver Medal, which dropped by 823 units to 9,476.
Top Sellers in the Spotlight
The 2025 Proof Set isn’t the only star. The 2025-W Proof American Silver Eagle, with its classic Walking Liberty design, is also a top pick. The Mint reported that 98 products saw sales increases for the week ending June 1, with two products gaining over 1,000 units. However, 11 products, including the 2025-W Uncirculated Silver Eagle, saw sales dip, with its total falling by 610 to 71,011. Collectors are clearly sticking to trusted favorites during this quiet period.

A Smart Time to Collect
With no new coins hitting the market last week, collectors are grabbing classics like the 2025 Proof Set, which matches the strong early sales of past years’ sets. Last year’s set sold 355,750 before selling out, and this year’s could follow suit. Price increases and sales adjustments show the Mint is adapting to a changing market, but demand for quality coins remains high. Whether you’re a longtime collector or just starting, now’s a great time to check out the Mint’s offerings and maybe snag a future treasure.
