First 5 oz Silver Uncirculated Coin Debuts

admin — Fri, 06 May 2011 17:04:37 +0000

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.

Missing in the sales numbers, however, was the 2011 Presidential $1 Coin Uncirculated Set that launched Wednesday, April 27, and dropping in sales numbers were the Andrew Johnson $1 Coin Rolls from Philadelphia and all four of the silver proof sets.

The following articles provide more details, insights and analysis about the latest changes.

ATB 5 Oz Silver Near Sell Out

The latest round of United States Mint sales figures show several interesting product developments, including the near sell out of the three recently issued America the Beautiful 5 ounce Silver Coins. The US Mint placed the collector Hot Springs National Park 5 Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin on sale Thursday. 19,000 of the 27,000 sold by the evening. Around 2,000 remained as of late Monday afternoon. It would appear the Hot Springs issue is destined to sell out before the Mint is scheduled to lift its one per coin household limit on …

Mary Lincoln Gold Coin Dominates

The dominate coin in the remaining First Spouse Gold Coin pool was the proof Mary Lincoln coin, for the first time in three weeks. It was also the only one to outperform its prior week’s sales. More than half of the First Spouse coins sold were Mary Lincoln proof coins, which was 78 out of 152 in all. In the last round, the ratio was 53 out of 227. As for the other two coins, collectors picked up 47 of the Mary Lincoln uncirculated and 27 of the Abigail Fillmore proofs. Fillmore’s proof was the leader in the last report with a surge of 90, but it was classified as "sold out" today at noon after the US Mint launched …

5 Oz Silver Coins Lead

There was a stark contrast between the newest United States Mint numismatic product and the annual silver sets. The debuting 2010-P Hot Springs 5 oz. Uncirculated Silver Coin lead sales while the sets spiraled down during their sales suspension. US Mint sets struggled and lost sales. The Mint suspended the 2010-dated Silver Proof Set and America the Beautiful (ATB) Quarters Silver Proof Set around April 9. Then they halted the 2011-dated sets on April 18. In this round of weekly sales figures, the 2011 ATB Silver Proof Set plummeted by -70, the 2011 Silver Proof Set dropped by -54, the 2010 …

Gold Eagle Sales Rate Dropping

Sales of the 2011 proof gold American Eagle coin options slowed dramatically this week. Buyers grabbed just 4,090 more one-ounce coins, the most popular option so far. Also purchased were an additional 782 half-ounce pieces, 1,540 quarter ouncers and 3,025 tenth ouncers. The full set saw another 1,557 taken by collectors. Compared to the 2010 offer last October, these numbers are weak. The 2010 Hot Springs 5-ounce collector coin has not yet sold out six days into the sales period …

Hot Springs Silver Coin Debut

The highs and lows in this week’s sales report include the new five ounce uncirculated 2010-P Hot Springs Silver Coin that pounced on the scene with a near sell out and the retreating annual silver sets. Proof Gold Eagles held on to some of their previous week’s launch momentum, and the commemorative coins surged. The hot number of the week was the new 2010-P Hot Springs silver coin. Even though the concept of a five ounce duplicate of the new quarter-dollar series received mixed reviews from many numismatists early …

US Mint Coin Sales Slow

admin — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 08:32:16 +0000

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.

Another noteworthy change was the number of sales totals that were trimmed, possibly due to returns, cancellations or accounting. The biggest one was the Mount Hood quarters correction. The totals for the 100-coin bags were reduced by a combined count of 5,176. Its two-roll sets declined even more. They were reduced by 17,074.

Bullion Silver Eagles were about the only highlight in the news. Their 2011 annual sales number jumped by 748,500 during the week to land above 11 million. Currently, they are holding on to fourth place for the highest sales since the series started in 1986.

The following articles, however, provide detailed insights and analysis about the latest changes.

Collector Products Ease, Bullion Grows

Coin collectors appear to have taken a spring break vacation as buying activity for American numismatic coins and sets retreated, according to the latest US Mint sales figures. Several US Mint products actually declined from their previous tallies, indicating a batch of customer returns, cancellations or accounting updates. Bags and rolls of Mount Hood National Park Quarters fell the most after an unexpected uptick reported last week indicated soaring …

First Spouse Coins Slow

Most of the demand for First Spouse Gold Coins diminished during the latest round of the United States Mint sales figures. Six out of eight coins slowed, including the two sold out coins. Overall, 336 coins sold, compared to 368 previously. The two with sold out statuses, the James Buchanan’s Liberty Proof Coin and the Jane Pierce Proof Coin, both tumbled by -9 each. Buchanan’s uncirculated, however, blazed forward by 199 and outperformed its prior …

Silver Commemoratives Weaken

Collector demand abated for US Mint silver products, including the new 2011 commemorative silver dollars. Bullion American Silver Eagle coins, on the other hand, gained and have topped 11 million in annual sales. Silver Eagles climbed by 748,500. As a comparison, US Mint Authorized Purchasers scooped up 668,500 during the previous week. The total for March has now moved up to 1,417,000. Year-to-date sales remarkably arrived at 11,079,000 …

Never Mind About Hood Quarters

What the Mint giveth, the Mint taketh away. As I expected, the numbers for the Mount Hood quarters last week were indeed wonky. The Philadelphia quarter bag was reduced to 5,834 this week from last week’s reported 8,440. The Denver bag dropped to 5,597 from 8,167 and the two-roll set fell from 48,905 to 31,831. This week is also noteworthy for a number of items going off sale. The proof Jane Pierce First Spouse gold coin and the Buchanan proof are …

Silver Eagles Record

Bullion American Silver Eagles stood out as compared to slipping numismatic sales at the United States Mint. The Silver Eagles climbed higher toward another annual record while collector sets and coins weakened and slowed. US Mint bullion American Silver Eagles added 748,500 to their March total, bringing it to 1,417,000. With it, annual sales treaded lightly beyond the 11 million milestone. 2011 moved from fifth place to fourth place for highest annual …

2011 Mint Set Debut

admin — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 03:08:44 +0000

Sets were top sellers according to the most recent coin sales figures from the United States Mint. The 2011 Uncirculated Mint Set made its debut and was most popular. The 2011 Proof Mint Set and Silver Proof Set came in second and third.

The Uncirculated Mint Set, aka the Mint Set, opened with 191,391. They launched on Tuesday, February 8. Their opening numbers were not at strong as last year, but that has been the case for all of the annual sets so far this year.

Collectors also scooped up 73,789 of the 2011 Proof Sets and 24,630 of the Silver Proof Sets. The weekly stats were higher than those recorded in the prior week, which were 20,473 and 23,151, respectively. Perhaps sales were higher because many of the purchasers felt like it was a good time to buy all three sets at one time.

The new US Army Commemoratives coins experienced high demand as well. In their second week on the charts, enthusiasts took 14,541 of the silver proofs; 9,301 of the clad proofs; and 2,108 of the gold proofs. The uncirculated versions did well too.

In bullion sales, the year-to-date total for Silver Eagles cleared the 8 million marker by mid-week. The one-tenth ounce Gold Eagles, in a surprise move, leaped by 95,000 during the week and easily topped the totals of the other fractional gold sizes.

The following articles, however, provide detailed insights and analysis about the latest changes.

Annual Sets Dominate

2011 sets continue to dominate US Mint collector product sales. That is hardly surprising as the Mint has released its three most popular annual sets in two-week increments since early January. What is a bit surprising is the 73,789 weekly advance of the 2011 Proof Set. Aside from its debuting burst of 253,144, the next three weekly gains were each below 26,000. Its sales total is now just under 400,000. The annual proof set and mint set are a popular …

Buchanan’s Liberty Proof Coins Dive

It has been one week since the US Mint stopped selling Buchanan’s Liberty First Spouse Proof Coins, but instead of seeing big numbers in the most recent United States Mint data to explain why they "sold out," their total dropped back -3. It went from 7,317 down to 7,314. In the meantime, Buchanan’s uncirculated Liberty coins surged by 113. Perhaps the proof’s unavailability spurred the sales. The new total for the uncirculated moved up to 4,574 …

2011 Silver Proof Sets Rise

Although the US Army Silver Dollar Commemorative Coins were the newest release, collectors scooped up more 2011 Silver Proof Sets than the Army silver coins combined, the latest United States Mint sales figures revealed. 24,630 of the new Silver Proof Sets sold in this round, which was higher than the previous report’s weekly gain of 23,151. The 2011 set has only been on the market about 18 days, and usually sales decline for a longer period …

Traditional Mint Set Has Pluck

Who would have thought that the 2011 uncirculated coin set would show such early pluck? The first report of sales shows collector purchases at 191,391, which puts it at over one-third of the total achieved by the 2010 set, which by the way, is still selling. This is a meat and potatoes set without any precious metals in it. The 2011 proof set added 73,789 in the past week to bring the total sold so far this year to 395,069. By comparison, the silver proof set sales …
