US Mint Sales: Updates and More Sold Out Products

New sales figures from the United States Mint offer updates for its last chance products and several sold out products, plus first time totals for some products that were released weeks ago.

First round sales for new products are usually known by the week following their release. Recently, there have been gaps with a few products slipping through the reporting cracks. Those have been fixed. Newly reported is:

• the 2013 Wilson Presidential $1 & Edith Medal Set, released on Dec. 19, with sales of 1,517

• the 2013 Theodore Roosevelt Coin and Chronicles Set, released on Dec. 17, with sales of 5,754

• the 2013 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, released on Dec. 12, with sales of 29,153

• the 2013 Wilson Presidential $1 & Ellen Medal Set, released on Dec. 10, with sales of 2,176

• the 2013 Taft Presidential $1 & Medal Set, released on Dec. 3, with sales of 2,465

• the 2013 Roosevelt Presidential $1 & Medal Set, released on Nov. 26, with sales of 3,075

• the 2013 McKinley Presidential $1 & Medal Set, released on Nov. 19, with sales of 2,701

Last Chance and Newly Sold Out Products

Last chance products included 2012- and 2013-dated issues that went off sale on Dec. 31, 2013. Several actually sold out shortly before their sales deadline. These include the uncirculated and proof 2013 5-Star Generals Commemorative Gold Coins, and the uncirculated 2013 5-Star Generals Clad Half Dollar.

The latest sales totals for each of these products are in the tables below, though they should move slightly in the next reporting period to account for last minute orders, cancellations and returns.

Mintage Low for 2013-D Uncirculated 5-Star Generals Half Dollar

Worth looking at closer are the latest sales of the 2013-D Uncirculated 5-Star Generals Half Dollar, one of those last chance products. One week ago I talked about how it was poised to set a mintage low in modern commemorative half-dollars because its sales were below the 2011-D Uncirculated Army Half Dollar and its mintage of 39,461. It appears that has indeed happened despite a final surge in orders.

Once sold individually and within the 5-Star Generals Profiles Collection, its combined sales is now 37,967. Some collectors scrambled to buy more as its weekly sales jumped 2,154. Both the individual half-dollar and the Profiles Collection were top weekly sellers.

2013-W $50 Proof Gold Eagle Sold Out

Not on the last chance list but also selling out was the individually sold 2013-W $50 Proof American Gold Eagle and the 2013-W Proof American Gold Eagle Four-Coin Set. These two products have sales of 16,556 and 7,876.

Since the one-ounce 2013-W $50-W Proof Gold Eagle is also in the four-coin set, its sales combine to 24,432. That places it higher than the mintage low of 23,805 for the 2012-W $50 Proof American Gold Eagle. An upcoming CoinNews.net article will discuss the Gold Eagles in more detail.

US Mint Sales: Silver Bullion Coins and Gold Bullion Coins

The U.S. Mint did not publish first-day sales for its new 2014 gold bullion coins, which launched on Jan. 2 and are likely very strong. As such, the following sales table is current only through Dec. 31, 2013. The U.S. Mint will begin selling 2014 Silver Eagle bullion coins on Jan. 13, 2014.

These tables show the latest sales for U.S. Mint numismatic products. The sales period covered is from Dec. 23 to Dec. 29, 2013. Products with an asterisk (*) are no longer available.
