Demand for US Mint collector coins retreated slightly with the exception of silver coins and sets which edged out small gains. On the whole, it was mostly an uneventful seven days with sales that moved within a narrow margin.
For a fourth straight week, Ultra-High Relief $20 gold coins experienced decent gains. Numbers may shoot even higher with the US Mint announcement this week that UHR coin limits will rise again on Monday, and for the second straight month. Collectors and coin dealers will be able to purchase up to 25 coins, up from the previous 10-coin limit. That should drive stronger sales for at least several more weeks. 82,959 UHRS have been sold as of Aug. 23.
Formative Years penny sales were halted right before the Aug. 13 launch of the Lincoln Professional Life cents in Springfield, Illinois. In news this week that will affect future sales of the coins, the US Mint placed Lincoln Formative Years Rolls back on sale. The most recent figures show 296,000 have been sold. That was revised down from the prior 300,000.

United States Mint bullion coin sales are moving along in the month of August.
Demand for Gold Eagles picked up with 25,000 additional sold. 18,000 had left the US Mint doors in the prior seven days. 813,500 is the the latest 2009 total.
However, Silver Eagles sales did slow down slightly — 475,000 were sold by the Mint versus the previous 500,000 seven day tally. 17,989,500 is the the latest total for 2009. More than 18 million will be gone by Tuesday.

Ultra-High Relief gold coins made solid gains for a third straight week. The coins jumped to 80,700 for a weekly gain of 2,901. Sales were exceptionally strong at the recent ANA World’s Fair of Money in LA.
The third 2009 cent launched August 13 and collector demand for US Mint sold rolls was high, although lower than figures from the second redesigned penny over the same time period. For the first report on their performance, 152,146 of the two-roll sets were sold within four days.

US Mint bullion coin sales picked up for both gold and silver American Eagles.

It was a mixed bag for the latest batch of US Mint coin sales. For most memorable, Lincoln Formative Years cents reached a new milestone with over 300,000 of the two-roll sets sold. As a side not, the Mint stopped selling the penny rolls prior to the launch of the Illinois cent launch this week.
Also standing high were UHR $20 gold coin figures. Another 2,750 were purchased by collectors. The Mint’s removal of the one-coin order limit has helped sales greatly. Nearly 80,000 of the special gold coins have now been sold.

Despite a reduction in US bullion coin demand in the last seven days compared to the prior week, American Silver Eagles have topped a new milestone of more than 17 million sold in 2009.
Sales of the silver eagles did rise by 380,000, but that is actually less than the 485,000 increase seen during the prior reporting period.
American Gold Eagle figures declined as well, increasing 14,000 from the previous 26,000. For 2009, a total of 770,500 have been sold.

Ultra High Relief $20 Gold coin sales glowed. Collectors purchased many more of the gold pieces than in weeks past — just one shy of 3,800. As a comparison, typical weekly sales have been below 1,000.
Why the change? The increased demand is a reflection of collectors being able to buy more. The US Mint raised UHR limits from one coin per household to ten. The total sold now stands at more than 75,000.
Other Mint collector gold coin figures were less cheerful. All but one of the First Spouse Coins declined modestly. And for the most part, the Mint’s silver products, with the exception of the blazing-hot bullion American Silver Eagles, slowed as well. Next week’s Professional Life Penny launch in Illinois should bring some sparkles to upcoming numbers.

American Eagle Gold and Silver Bullion Coins closed out with differing performances. For July, gold eagle sales registered toward the bottom of the monthly ladder. Silver eagles were one rung from the top. Both bullion coins are on track to have an exceptionally impressive year.
The US Mint sold 86,000 one-ounce gold eagles in July. Only May had fewer sales. On the other hand, buyers purchased 2.81 million silver eagles in July to make it the second best month of the year, right behind March.
While last month may have been slower for the gold coins, the yearly tally of 756,500 is on pace for a record year. More so for silver eagles. 16,634,500 have rushed out of the Mint’s inventory this year. It seems most certain that last year’s record of more than 20 million sold will be shattered.
As far as weekly numbers, both silver and gold eagles compared better than the prior week. The former upped by 485,000 over the previous 450,000. Gold eagles surged by 26,000 from the prior 4,000.

Proof Sets were the biggest winners in the latest round of US Mint Coin Sales Figures. Despite the 2009 Proof Set and the 2009 Silver Proof Set having respective youthful launch dates of only June 1 and July 17, their sales have hit whopping totals of 888,329 and 350,572.
The inclusion of the four bicentennial Lincoln cents is a large reason for what looks to be a smashing popular success of this year’s sets.
Collector coins were mostly mixed compared to last week’s coin sales report which showed higher interest in nearly all Mint offerings.

The sales pace of American Eagle Gold and Silver Bullion Coins eased during the last seven days, new US Mint figures reveal.

Gold eagle sales were also at their slowest over the same time period with 4,000 new sold compared to the previous 26,500.
