The latest round of U.S. Mint sales figures has just been published for the 2014 National Baseball Hall of Fame Commemorative Coins.
Issued in gold, silver and clad and in proof and uncirculated qualities, only the 50c clad coins remain available from the United States Mint. The $5 gold coins sold out within 24 hours and the silver dollars sold out last week, though the Mint continues to accept orders for the $1s in a waiting list capacity.
New figures offer fresh splits for the proof and uncirculated coins with the former commanding sales leads of almost 2-to-1.
Directly below is a table offering the latest numbers. All sales amounts are as of Sunday, April 13, 2014.
