Even though the United States Mint released three new items, only two of them appeared in their latest coin sales figures. The 2011 Native American $1 coin and Andrew Johnson Presidential $1 Coin Covers were on the chart, but the 2011 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set opening numbers were withheld.
The 2011 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set debuted on Friday, April 1, and usually the US Mint would report how many sold by Sunday. In this case, however, the new set was not listed.
Collectors picked up 9,655 of the Philadelphia minted 2011 Native American $1 coin rolls and 9,401 rolls of the Denver stamped rolls. All together, 19,056 sold between their start on Monday, March 28 and Sunday, April 3.
15,459 of the Andrew Johnson Presidential $1 Coin Covers flew off the Mint’s shelves between Thursday, March 31 and Sunday, making them the second best sellers. The 2011 Silver Proof Set took third with 14,839.
The following articles, however, provide detailed insights and analysis about the latest changes.
