One newcomer and several high gains dominated the United States Mint’s latest coin sales figures. The biggest newsmaker was the debuting 2010-P Hot Springs Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin which sold approximately 25,000 out of 27,000.
49 products in all outperformed their prior sales gains, including all of the commemoratives, for the second week in a row, and every Presidential $1 Coin Cover. Even the one-quarter ounce American Gold Eagle Proof Coin got a lot of action by adding 1,540 in this round versus 1,313 in the last. [click to continue…]
Compared to recent weeks, United States Mint collector coins slowed in the latest coin sales figures. From 2011 commemoratives to annual sets to America the Beautiful Quarters, nearly every item pulled back. Bullion American Eagles, however, were different.
The 2011 Medal of Honor Coins went from a 37,317 increase in the prior week’s sales to only 12,747 in this round. Demand for US Army commemoratives eased too. They went from a 16,227 leap to one that was just 6,128. [click to continue…]
