The Mint sold over 30 million Uncirculated Silver Eagles this year, a new record. The final mintage figures for the 2009 Uncirculated Silver Eagles were reported in the middle of March of 2010.

The previous record for Uncirculated Silver Eagles was from 2008, when the Mint sold just over 20 million 2008 Uncirculated Silver Eagles.

To understand the magnitude of the sales figures, compare these figures to previous years like the 1996 Uncirculated Silver Eagles. In 1996, the Mint sold approximately 3.5 million coins in total for that year.
