US Mint Sales: 2012 Proof Sets Lead Debuting Products

0
2012 Proof Set
U.S. Mint sales of 2012 Proof Sets have topped 261,000 in two weeks.

2012 Proof Sets continue to make their mark as the U.S. Mint’s best-selling numismatic product, the latest sales figures from the bureau reveal.

Those figures also show that coin demand was a bit weaker overall, although there was a decent amount of overachievers with 42 products improving over their prior weekly sales.

Two-week sales of 2012 Proof Sets are at 261,799 with a weekly increase of 18,305 after their sales debut of 243,494. As was expected due to the set’s popularity, its latest weekly gain in sales was larger than totals for last week’s new products which feature Kennedy halves and Native American $1 coins.

Appearing second on the U.S. Mint’s top sellers list was the 2012-W Proof Silver Eagle, advancing 14,449 to 381,725. The weekly increase was nearly 4,000 more than buyers ordered in the previous week, which is quite impressive considering the coin launched back in mid-April.

Debuting Products

Newly released Kennedy half dollars appear third in the list above. Counting the amount of coins within the rolls and inside of the companion Kennedy 200-coin bags, collectors purchased a total of 740,160 between last Tuesday and Monday. The start was a touch slower than last year when the 2011-dated Kennedy’s scored 776,440. For more details and comparisons, check out this CoinNews.net article.

Bags of Native American $1 coins were released on Monday, May 14. Since rolls and boxes of the same coins had been available since late April, the bags failed to make any significant splash. Collectors ordered 292 of the bags filled with coins bearing "P" mint marks and 247 of the bags filled with coins sporting the "D" mint mark.

Next week’s sales report should see more unit-buying activity with this past Monday’s release of the 2012 US Mint Set and Friday’s launch of Grover Cleveland Presidential $1 coins in rolls, bags and boxes. 

US Mint Sales: Bullion Coin Products

Bullion coin demand was weaker overall in the last seven days, although smaller-sized American Gold Eagles appeared in the sales column for the first time in May. The one-half once and one-quarter once Gold Eagles have the best monthly total since January.

The following table offers the latest U.S. Mint bullion coin sales figures:
