Today, July 2, the U.S. Mint notified customers via email that it will increase prices on all its silver collector products, with the exception of the 2024 commemorative coins. The rise in the spot price of silver and other associated costs was cited as the reason for the price hikes, which will take effect on July 9.
Silver is currently trading at around $29.73 an ounce, compared to approximately $23 an ounce a year ago.
New Mint prices have yet to be announced, aside from the uncirculated Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars launching on the 11th. Their prices will be $91 apiece, up $15 from the previous $76. Each coin is composed of .999 fine silver, with a silver weight of 0.859 troy ounces.
Typically, new or updated prices for U.S. Mint numismatic products are first published in the Federal Register, the official source of notices by government agencies and a daily journal of their proceedings.
The main body of the U.S. Mint’s email notice is as follows:
Price Update for Morgan and Peace Silver Dollar Uncirculated Coin Subscriptions
Due to the rise of the spot price of silver and other costs, the United States Mint is raising prices on all numismatic silver products effective July 9, 2024, except for our commemorative coin program products.

Update (July 3, 3:35 p.m. EDT): On Wednesday, the U.S. Mint announced (via another email) upcoming price increases for a wider range of its silver numismatic products, detailed further below.
Earlier on Wednesday, the U.S. Mint published a press release announcing the July 11 release of the uncirculated 2024-P Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. Ironically, the press release notes that their prices will be $76 each, instead of the $91 announced on July 2nd (as shown above) and reiterated later today in the latest Mint notice. (Update #2: July 3, 4:11 p.m. EDT: The Mint revised the press release with the updated $91 price.)
