The ending to October sales had some style, according to the latest United States Mint coin sales figures. Collectors purchased just enough to cause certain numismatic products to hit some milestones, starting with a golden sell out.
The individual one ounce 2010-W Proof Gold Eagle sold out after the last 3,698 were purchased. The individual ounce arrived at its product limit of 25,000 only three weeks after its debut, and the Mint’s standby or waiting list option is now in affect for it. As for the fractional sizes and the Four-Coin Sets, they will remain on the market much longer.
The real mover of the group, however, was the 2010 Proof Set. An impressive 51,016 were bought in one week. Enthusiasm for the set had been growing in recent weeks. The previous gains had been 40,006 and before that they were 22,415. Its total flew past the 800,000 marker.
The Silver Proof Set easily topped 400,000 after 10,343 were scooped up by collectors. The Mint’s on-again off-again 2009 DC & US Silver Quarters Proof Set added 50, to make its total 298,612, which was still just under the 300,000 threshold.
