Proof American Silver Eagles Mintages By Year

How Many Silver American Eagles Are Minted Each Year?

There is no standard set of mintages for American Silver Eagles that is followed consistently year after year. Each year, and each issue within that year, will have its own unique mintage. Typically, bullion Silver Eagles are produced in the highest amounts, often in the millions, while proof and burnished varieties, geared towards collectors, tend to be issued in smaller numbers. To stay up to date on both past and current Silver Eagle mintages, we recommended bookmarking our Silver Eagle mintage charts above.  

What Is the Lowest Mintage Year for Silver Eagles?

To date, the lowest mintage year for the bullion American Silver Eagle was 1996, with a total mintage of approximately 3.6 million coins. This relatively low mintage, compared to other years, has made the 1996 Silver Eagle a key date coin for collectors. However, it's important to note that mintage figures can vary between bullion, proof, and burnished versions of the Silver Eagle coins, with bullion coins tending to have the highest mintage when compared to the collector versions. For example, the lowest mintage Proof Silver Eagle to date is the 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle which had a final mintage of just 30,125 pieces.  New releases or updated figures could change this status.
