Vicksburg quarters and Lucy Hayes First Spouse Gold coins make their debut appearance in the latest United States Mint sales figures. The newest Mint report also shows wider demand across collector products, although the impact of suspending gold coins is evident.
Lucy Hayes First Spouse Gold Coins launched Thursday, September 1. Their debut sales were weaker than most previous releases, but then the gold coins were also only available for just over 24 hours in this reporting period since the United States Mint suspended their sale and that of other gold coins and silver sets on Friday, September 2. The gold coins returned to availability Wednesday at higher prices, which will provide about a half of the normal week of sales in the Mint’s next reporting period.
The following table shows how Lucy Hayes coins stacked up against the opening sales of several other releases:
| First Spouse Gold Coins | Debut Sales | US Mint Issue Date |
| Lucy Hayes First Spouse Gold Coins | 2,122 | Sept. 1, 2011 |
| Julia Grant First Spouse Gold Coins | 2,598 | June 23, 2011 |
| Eliza Johnson First Spouse Gold Coins | 2,108 | May 5, 2011 |
| Mary Todd Lincoln First Spouse Gold Coins | 5,505 | Dec. 2, 2010 |
| Buchanan’s Liberty First Spouse Gold Coins | 6,127 | Sept. 2, 2010 |
| Jane Pierce First Spouse Gold Coins | 2,434 | June 3, 2010 |
| Abigail Fillmore First Spouse Gold Coins | 2,881 | Mar. 18, 2010 |
| Margaret Taylor First Spouse Gold Coins | 2,839 | Dec. 3, 2009 |
| Sarah Polk First Spouse Gold Coins | 2,605 | Sept. 3, 2009 |
Split across by type, collectors ordered 1,265 proof and 857 uncirculated Lucy Hayes First Spouse Gold Coins between their releases on Thursday through to Friday.
Also in the debut column this week are the first sales of Vicksburg quarters. The coins, which honor Vicksburg National Military Park located in the state of Mississippi, were released in bags and rolls on Monday, August 29. Maintaining a trend that began with the start of the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program in 2010, sales of the quarter bags continue to retreat during their debut. However, sales of the new two-roll sets firmed a bit over the previous rolls of Olympic quarters. The following table shows the new Vicksburg quarter products against past quarter debuts:
