The Mint said its facility in West Point, New York, continued to produce coins and it resumed sales at the end of July 2015. This was the second time the mint's silver coins had sold out in the past nine months. The Mint ran out of 2014-dated American Eagles in November 2014. In 2013, the historic drop in silver increased demand for silver coins, forcing the mint to ration silver coin sales for 18 months.<sup id="cite_ref-67" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-67"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>67<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Impact_of_COVID-19_on_production,_2020"><span id="Impact_of_COVID-19_on_production.2C_2020"></span>Impact of COVID-19 on production, 2020</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Silver_Eagle&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Impact of COVID-19 on production, 2020"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On March 28, 2020, the West Point Mint, believed to be the only producer of bullion American Silver Eagles from 2018 up until early 2020, was shut down for cleaning after an employee tested positive for <a href="/wiki/SARS-CoV-2" title="SARS-CoV-2">SARS-CoV-2</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-68" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-68"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>68<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-69" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-69"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>69<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The facility reopened on April 1, and bullion coin production was reduced to prevent employee exposure to <a href="/wiki/COVID-19" title="COVID-19">COVID-19</a>, before once again being shut down on April 15 due to safety concerns.<sup id="cite_ref-70" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-70"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>70<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>To make up for the reduced and later suspended production of silver bullion coins, the Philadelphia Mint struck 240,000 American Silver Eagles from April 8 through April 20,<sup id="cite_ref-:1_71-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-71"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>71<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> making them among the rarest uncirculated issues to date.<sup id="cite_ref-72" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-72"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>72<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although these coins were physically identical to the West Point coins, <a href="/wiki/Coin_grading" title="Coin grading">coin grading</a> companies began certifying Philadelphia Mint Silver Eagles as "Emergency Issues."<sup id="cite_ref-73" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-73"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>73<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Production at West Point continued on April 21.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_71-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-71"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>71<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Distribution">Distribution</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Silver_Eagle&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Distribution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Bullion_2">Bullion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=American_Silver_Eagle&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Bullion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Sales of American Silver Eagle bullion coins began on November 24, 1986, and initial inventories sold out "immediately due to the phenomenal demand".<sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>74<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Silver Eagle bullion coins, along with <a href="/wiki/American_Gold_Eagle" title="American Gold Eagle">American Gold Eagle</a> bullion coins, were planned as "viable investment alternatives to the gold and silver bullion coins produced by other countries. ..."
