US Mint Sales: 2019 Proof Set and Rocketship Debut

28

Early United States Mint sales figures are now available for the glow-in-the dark 2019 Rocketship set for young collectors and the 2019 Proof Set with accompanied "W" cent. Both products led weekly sales.

Despite having fewer days in its first reported sales total, the annually issued Proof Set scored three-day sales of 196,034 for the best start since the one from 2015. A bonus Lincoln cent with the "W" mint mark of the West Point Mint comes with every set. It’s boosting sales. This bodes well for the upcoming 2019 Silver Proof Set and 2019 Uncirculated Mint Set as their orders will include their own unique "W" cent.

Proof Sets over the years have launched in different months and on different days of the week — usually on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays, affecting their first-reported totals. Keep that in mind when looking at the figures in the table below.

2018w uncirculated currently unavailable is this the new king of low mintages at 137,306 excluding the 1995w ?

Chas Barber

2018 is available & is after just CLAD…………..

Rodney Moore

I just have gotten in 2 of the proof sets in 2 separate boxes. My intentions were to open one box/set and save the other one. I opened the first box with the 2019 proof set and free penny. The penny is just in the plastic bag as shown and not protected well. The penny was badly discolored! I know that technically the penny is a cent, but the Mint doesn’t follow the proper nomenclature so why should we? Next, I opened the box to the proof set. The Native American $1 has a bad scuff mark on Sacawagea’s cheek… Read more »

Rodney Moore – I had a similar problem with two of the free Proof 2019-W Lincoln cents I received. There is reddish-brown areas of discoloration on both coins in exactly the same place on two of the cents in my order of 10 sets. Very strange for a new Proof coin. Inspection of Proof sets at the Mint is no longer done totally by people anymore. An electronic eyes system is used to make sure all the coins are in the proper space & completely filled, but doesn’t check the coins for scratches or discoloration. Employees just spot check a… Read more »

2018w uncirculated american silver eagle for the second time this week is again currently unavailable. has anyone seen mike mezack selling the 2019 rocketship set with the PROOF LIKE kennedy uncirculated half dollar. i never heard of a proof like uncirculated coin anyone have any info on this ?

chuck

gary,
Years ago the Canadian mint use the proof like term for their special packaged silver $ coins. I’ve seen it used elsewhere too. Since this set costs $9.95 from the mint, “mike” probably needs to spin his price of $99.95 for 2 sets (including one ‘proof like’ Kennedy). Was interesting when he said he bought “half” of the sets.

rodney Moore

Gary, I’ve never heard of a “Proof Like” kennedy uncirculated from the mint itself, but they can get that grade from grading companies. I will say, that at first I thought my coin in the Rocketship set that I received was proof like. From a distance, it looked perfect and I thought it was the best uncirculated coin I had ever laid eyes on. But when I looked at it with a loupe, there was lots of bag marks. So that was peculiar and it almost looks like the coin is polished! I honestly mean that, because with the bag… Read more »

gary & chuck –

The clad 2019 Kennedy half dollar coin in the Mint’s 2019 Rocketship set is officially called an “Enhanced Reverse Proof” finish by the Mint. It is not Prooflike per se. Mezack is just trying to hype a cheap clad coin with a mintage of 50,000 as he always does to sell it at an astronomical high price to unknowledgeable buyers on HSN.

Seth Riesling,
Thank you for the official name. It will be interesting to see the next week sales for this set (as noted mike said he bought half yet sales as of 3/3 were only 17825). Was hoping this might sell out as it might mean the young might develop an interest in coins but looks like only the “old” have an interest.

chuck

Seth Riesling,
Still have question about official name you cited as the description cites “uncirculated finish”. Nothing about proof for the Kennedy.
Did you receive your 5 oz Apollo yet? Or have you received an expected ship date yet? Thanks

rodney Moore

Seth, You say the Kennedy in the Mint’s 2019 Rocketship set is officially called an “enhanced Reverse Proof” finish by the mint but I don’t believe that is the case. The Apollo 11 set has that title and that finish, but the Rocketship Kennedy coin is described by the mint as simply “uncirculated” with no other description that I can find anywhere. And believe me, I have looked, since I collect Kennedy halves with a passion. Did you mistakenly type “Rocketship” in the above post, or did I miss something about the finish on the Rocketship set? Also please note,… Read more »

Seth Riesling

chuck – I have not yet received a ship date on my five 5 oz. Apollo 11 silver coin order. I called on this Friday to get another update & the rep said there is no specific shipping date assigned to my order yet, but I placed 2 separate orders on the first day of issue & it stated Backorder status date May 1 by the time I ordered those coins at about 15 minutes after the start of sales. They are apparently striking them as fast as they can & shipping them to the Memphis fulfillment warehouse, but with… Read more »

I am still waiting for my five (5) Apollo 11 5 OZ coins also, Seth.

Seth Riesling

chuck –

The Kennedy half dollar in the Rocketship set is just a regular Unc. finish 2019-D coin. I don’t have the sets at home anymore as I put them up in safekeeping with all my Apollo 11 coins & was thinking of the upcoming free Enhanced Reverse Proof Lincoln cent that has been on my mind recently. Sorry about that!

NumisdudeTX

chuck

Seth Riesling,
Thank you for your replies. I, also, am surprised the gold and 5 oz Apollo coins have not sold out but likely some did not want to wait so long to get them. Imho, the mint personnel really screwed up on this and even worse are not forthcoming with us.

Christopher Williams

As for Mike “Sold Out, Limited Edition” Mezack–On HSN he’s hyping that he’s “giving away” the Proof Set with the “W” Proof penny in ANACS in PF69 for $99.99.

For crying out loud, you can have the Proof Set and the “W” Proof penny for $27.95.

sam tweedy

Mike Mezack is the coin collecting “god” Repeat Repeat Repeat!!!

chuck

FYI,
Rocket Ship “unavailable”.

Christopher Williams

I finally received an email today that my five (5) Apollo 11 5 oz coins have shipped.

The US Mint should be concerned about all of the Back Order coins that will be returned.

rodney Moore

I just looked at the US Mint Cumulative Sales Figures page and it looks like the number of the Apollo 11 5-oz coins sold has dropped by 120 coins instead of increasing. Since the mint has been selling about 100 of these a week, they must have gotten well over 200 returns/cancels in the past week in order for the sales total to drop by 120! It would be interesting to know how much of the return number is actually coins being physically sent back to the mint and how many are just where people are canceling their back-ordered coins?… Read more »

Christopher Williams

Well written, Rodney.

The US Mint messed up. The quiet after the storm, will cause an enormous cancellation of the Back Ordered 5 oz coins.

If the production number was 50,000, they would have Sold Out.

rodney Moore

I thought the March 10th numbers @ – (negative) 120 was bad. That’s nothing: ‘March 17 sales figures’ shows that the sales dropped another 1,340 coins! So far I have gotten one of the 5 oz coins. I ordered one about 5 hours after the noon sales started and I got that coin a couple of weeks ago. 24 hours after the coin initially went on sale I backordered another coin with no sign of that one yet. I then backordered another coin each week for 3 weeks. This puts me at having 4 coins back-ordered and I am really… Read more »

As of March 10 sales of the 2019 Rocket Set are 46,726 and currently unavailable.

Christopher Williams

I purchased two of the Rocketship Sets. Mike “old Out, Limited Edition” Mezak was hawking them like they were gold.

Seth Riesling

Rodney Moore –

I posted a correction on that in a new post here 2 days ago to Chuck.

Christopher Williams

It also looks like the US Mint website is down this (3/13/2019) morning.

Christopher Williams

The site is back up again. Funny how the site being down coincided with an email I received from the Mint that the Apollo 11 “Engraved Prints” were available again, but not for long.

i unfortunately collect Kennedy’s .they only make 10 different ones a year. The Kennedy rocket ship coin.. circulated PL coins can be hard and expensive to find.. i removed the best looking Kennedy from the set and sent it to N#C . i received a PL 67 D mint slab . . And happy to add it to my set. There is no mention off the rocket ship set on the slab. .. circulated PL Kennedy’s can be found . . . .
