2010 US Mint Collector Sales Grow

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:53:50 +0000

The clear leaders in US Mint collector product sales were the new proof and uncirculated American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollars. Their initial sales numbers exceeded 66,000 and 32,000 respectively.

The 2010 Presidential Dollar Proof Sets placed third, bringing in more than 25,000 and making their new total over 326,000. The dollar set hasn’t even been available a full month, and already its total reached just over half of the 2009 set total of 627,925.

Gold sales were mixed. More than 500 First Spouse gold coins sold in a week, and beat their prior sales by 100. American Buffalo Gold Proof sales, however, slowed down. About 400 sold, compared to over 700 in the last report. The US Mint increased these coins’ prices in the middle of the week, on Feb. 24.

Silver Coins Climb, Gold Coins Crawl

Sprinting past all other collectible coins to easily become the U.S. Mint sales leader in just three days were the American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollars. Nearing 100K from their launch last Thursday through to Sunday, 66,209 proof and 32,149 uncirculated coins were ordered — very sound starting numbers. Compared to last year’s commemoratives, the debuting level was a bit more than half that of the popular Lincoln Silver Dollars, and more than double that of the Louis Braille Silver Dollars. The Lincoln’s eventually sold out. The Braille’s did not, but their figures were solid, nevertheless. In other products, both silver sets outperformed their previous weekly gains …

First Spouse Gold Coin Leader is Polk, not Harrison

Sales for US Mint First Spouse Gold Coins were up this week, according to the latest sales figures. Six of the ten available coins outperformed their previous unit increases. The Anna Harrison Uncirculated coin, that gained 118 last week, lost its footing on the top spot and came in fourth with an increase of 58. The new highest earner in this report was the Sarah Polk Uncirculated, which brought in 89 new sales. In addition to being most popular for the week, the Polk Uncirculated passed the Julia Tyler Uncirculated in total sales. Polk is now 2,542 and J. Tyler is 2,539. That doesn’t happen often. Usually, if a …

Silver Disabled Veterans for Life Coins Start Strong

The latest United States Mint weekly sales report is published and the newly released 2010 Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Commemorative Coins take center stage. 98,358 silver dollars were sold, according to the US Mint’s latest stats.

The newest addition to the 2010 line up is the Millard Fillmore Presidential $1 coin rolls. Although inaugural sales weren’t as high as the last two coins in the series, they still came in with decent numbers totaling more than 51,000.

The news-maker for the week was clearly the 2010 Presidential $1 Coin Proof Sets. More than 76,000 sold during the week, bringing their total up to 300,952. It looks as if this year’s set will out perform last year’s set in a few months. Last year’s Presidential Proof Set total ended up at 627,925.

On the gold front, American Buffalo Gold Proof sales are still chugging along, adding 771 in this round. First Spouse Gold Proofs and Uncirculated together chalked up 446 new sales. The US Mint increased these coins’ prices in the middle of the week, which might give them some extra attention by the next report.

After 1 1/2 weeks of availability and with the helping hand of a boisterous weekly increase of 75,626, the four-coin set has jumped over the 300,000 marker. With the Lincoln Presidential $1 coin proof included within, it looks to be a sure bet that the 2010 sets will easily topple last year’s sets. Those were available for just over a year and have adjusted sales of 627,925. The Millard Fillmore $1 coin launched into circulation one week ago.

US Mint Collector Sales Two Week Report

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:20:33 +0000

Since the US Mint was closed for several days due to a snowstorm, this week’s report contained two weeks of sales increases. With the combined totals, some products did exceptionally well, while only a few were a little sluggish.

The 2010 Presidential Dollar Proof Sets launched Feb. 11 and sales skyrocketed to 224,426. The 2009 Mint Sets also exploded, kind of unexpectedly, adding 15,244 to their prior 704,862 total.

The 2010 Native American dollar rolls puckered out and so did the 2010 Kennedy half-dollar bags and rolls. It’s probably no surprise, since launches are usually the high point for two of the least used coins in circulation.

US Mint Sales: Gold Coin Interest Picks Up

The United States Mint headquarters in Washington, D.C. was shutdown for most of last week thanks to the two blizzards that blew through the East Coast.

The portion of the weekly sales report from the United States Mint covering silver coins is getting smaller and smaller.

US Mint sales figures revealed a continued overall slowdown as collectors wait for new 2010 arrivals. Most 2009 collector product sales declined, but three products surged.

The three to outperform their prior report figures were the US Mint Proof set, Lincoln Presidency Cent Two-Roll sets, and First Spouse 24-karat Gold Coins. The Mint’s Proof set rose by 7,168 versus the prior 4,971; the Presidency Cents climbed 4,990, compared to 3,426; and First Spouse coins picked up 733 all together, beating last week’s 407.

Of all the collector products, only one retreated with a negative change. The 2009 DC & US Territories Quarters Proof Set was adjusted by -6,809. One can assume it was either an accounting correction or perhaps an unusual amount of customer returns.

US Mint 2010 Silver Eagles Explode

In what has become almost a weekly routine of late, the United States Mint again reported unimpressive sales according to their latest figures. A few bright spots did emerge, however. The most impressive gains come not from a numismatic item, but from the US Mint’s bullion coins. Recall that the bullion 2009 American Silver Eagles sold out on January 12th, with 2010-dated coins not appearing for sale until this last Tuesday.

The last US Mint sales figures were a bit boring, except for a few new numbers. One ounce UHR Gold Coin figures updated from 112,065 to 115,178. That means over 3,000 sold in the final available days.

Two more standout gold numbers appeared. Buffalo Proofs rose by 1,089 this time compared to last week’s 555, and after half ounce First Spouse Gold Coins were combined, collectors purchased 407 in this report versus the prior 330.

The 2008 Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set continues to sell well, adding over 1,000. Other collector sets, however, performed with less vigor than before, as many collectors are simply waiting for new 2010 products from the Mint.

Proof American Buffalo Gold Coin sales were down, despite the popularity of gold last week. About the only gold to improve during the holiday was the Letitia Tyler First Spouse uncirculated gold coin, which gained 20 in this report but only 13 in the last report.

Collector Sets Decline, Gold Improves

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 02:38:08 +0000

Lower gold prices on December 16th helped boost sales figures of a few US Mint products. In fact, American Buffalo Proof and Ultra High Relief Double Eagle coins were the bright spot in this week’s sales stats. Both performed better than the last report.

Performing worse, however, were proof and uncirculated sets. For example, the Mint Proof Set gained a little more than 16,000 this time compared to nearly 26,000 in the week before. The Mint’s Uncirculated Set increased by 13,425, compared to the prior 15,905 gain.

As the end of the year approaches, many products go off sale. December 31st, 3 PM Eastern Time, is the deadline for Ultra High Relief Double Eagles as well as Jefferson and Madison Presidential dollar rolls and bags, to name a few.
