Sales of the Making American History Coin and Currency Set have reached 33,878, the latest sales figures from the United States Mint reveal.
The sales period is from its release on August 7, 2012 through to August 27, 2012, or one day shy of three weeks. The level represents 67.8% of the initial 50,000 production and 33.9% of the possible 100,000 units that could be sold — the maximum is the amount listed on the set’s product page located on the United States Mint website […]
In a one week-window this month, two First Spouse Gold Coins went off sale to leave only three available.
United States Mint production issues have delayed the launch of the eight 2012-dated coins, so the 2011’s are receiving extra attention. Their falling sales levels have significantly helped that as well. Collectors like scarcer coins, and the spousal series is one of the few from the U.S. Mint that are about guaranteeing scarcity […]
Ending coin sales are known for 2011 Olympic Quarter rolls and bags out of United States Mint facilities in Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D).
Rolls and bags of the quarter featuring Olympic National Park in Washington went on sale June 13, 2011. The United States Mint stopped selling them shortly after 2012 Acadia National Park quarters launched on June 11, 2012. However, weekly sales of the […]
Eliza Johnson First Spouse Gold Coins are no longer sold by the United States Mint as the proof moved to the bureau’s "sold out/no longer available" category on June 20, 2012 and the uncirculated did so earlier on June 5, 2012.
Factors can change going forward, but currently Eliza Johnson gold coins boast the lowest total sales of any of the no longer available coins. Lower sales equal lower mintages and that can add to a coin’s value long term […]
For many collectors, knowing the mintage limit is valuable information before purchasing a coin or set. For the 2012 San Francisco American Eagle Two-Coin Silver Proof Set, which is being minted to meet demand, the United States Mint did what it could to ease the minds of interested buyers. Each weekday it is posting a cumulative total of all of the units ordered.
The total, says the U.S. Mint, is not intended to represent actual sales and is simply an approximation that can be used for informational purposes. It appears on the American Silver Eagle Two-Coin Set product page on the U.S. Mint’s website […]
Ending sales of Ulysses S. Grant Presidential $1 Coin rolls are now known.
Rolls of the circulation quality dollars were released by the United States Mint on May 19, 2011. The bureau stopped selling them shortly after it released Grover Cleveland (First Term) Presidential $1 Coins on May 25, 2012 […]
Rolls of 2011 Kennedy Half Dollar coins went off sale Tuesday, May 15, 2012 when, on the same day, the United States Mint released bags and rolls containing this year’s Kennedy Half Dollar.
This is not unusual, although the United States Mint has and currently does offer older products even when newer releases come out — the May 7th release of the 2012 Proof Set is one example, with the 2011-dated set still on sale […]
Rolls of 2011 Native American $1 Coins went off sale Thursday, April 29, 2012 when on the same day the United States Mint released rolls and boxes containing this year’s Native American Dollar which features a new design.
Pulling older dated products when newer ones are released is a common, but not always-followed occurrence at the United States Mint. The 2011 dollars were issued last year on March 28 for $39.95 […]
Many collectors are fond of the American Presidency $1 Coin Cover Series which features two circulating Presidential dollars from the first day of their production — one from the United States Mint facility in Denver and the other from the United States Mint facility in Philadelphia.
Introduced in 2007 along with the release of the first Presidential $1 Coin honoring George Washington, the series is one of the Mint’s more attractive products as the two dollars are mounted on a display card with a portrait of the current President being honored […]
Opening sales of the 2011-W Uncirculated American Gold Eagle coin was the center of attention in most US Mint weekly news articles. Sales of the collector uncirculated Gold Eagle started slow despite its previous two-year absence from the United States Mint lineup.
The collector 22-karat uncirculated gold coin went on sale Thursday, May 5. A total of 1,098 were sold as of Monday, May 9. That is 1/10th of the amount of one-ounce proof Gold Eagles sold in a lesser four-day period following their release in late April […]
