United States Mint products featuring Great Basin National Park quarters in circulating quality debuted on June 10, 2013.
2013 Great Basin Quarter and Products
This included single rolls, two-roll sets and bags of the coins at price points ranging from $18.95 to $46.95.
Opening sales of the Great Basin coin products rolled in earlier this week, provided by the U.S. Mint. As the 18th release in the Mint’s program of America the Beautiful Quarters, it is always interesting to compare how debut sales of the newest quarter compared to those of the past.
Despite their release during what is typically a slower summer season, sales of the new ATB quarters went well. Performing best with sales of 9,894, and keeping to tradition, were two-roll sets with 40 coins in a roll from the Philadelphia Mint and 40 coins in a roll from the Denver Mint.
Next highest were three-roll sets of the Great Basin quarters containing the same two rolls in the previously mentioned set and another roll of 40 coins from the San Francisco Mint. Sales opened at 4,607. This is the best start yet for the new quarter sets — a product the U.S. Mint introduced only this year.
Single rolls filled with the "S" mint marked America the Beautiful Quarters were third at 3,146. The 100-coin bags followed with those from San Francisco at 2,996, those from Philadelphia at 1,874 and those from Denver at 1,840.
Across all new products with Great Basin quarters, coin collectors ordered a total of 2,150,200 coins. Again, considering the time of year, this was strong as the sales start for the previous Perry’s Victory quarters debuted at 2,210,700.
Included in the grid below are debut sales and current sales for all past issues of bags, rolls and two-roll sets of America the Beautiful Quarters. Sales marked with one asterisk (*) are products that are no longer available from the U.S. Mint.
