US Mint Sales: American Eagles Improve, Infantry Dollars Lead Numismatic Coins

0
American Gold and Platinum Eagle Coins
Sales of U.S. Mint American Eagles improved for the gold, platinum and silver issues.

New U.S. Mint sales figures show that buying activity picked up slightly last week for the bureau’s numismatic coins. Sales were no doubt supported by the introduction of the commemorative 2012 Infantry Soldier Silver Dollars yet kept in check by the extended U.S. holiday weekend. While Infantry dollars stood out, bullion and collectible coins in the form of American Eagles were among the weekly overachievers.

Collectors purchased a combined total of 54,675 Infantry dollars in proof and uncirculated qualities during their 5-day opening sales period from Thursday to Monday. That compares to the first 3-day sales of 35,502 for last year’s Medal of Honor Silver Dollars and the 7-day start of 67,593 for the 2011 U.S. Army Silver Dollars. For a more detailed recap, read the recent CoinNews.net article discussing the Infantry dollars debut sales.

The Infantry dollars did lead all U.S. Mint numismatic coin sales, as highlighted in the following list:

U.S. Mint Top Numismatic Products of the Week

  1. Proof Infantry Dollars (+26,262)
  2. Infantry Silver Dollar Defenders of Freedom Set (+16,222)
  3. Uncirculated Infantry Dollars (+12,191)
  4. 2011-W Uncirculated Silver Eagle (+3,518 to 268,640)
  5. 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set (+3,101 to 81,370)
  6. 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set (+3,045 to 66,006)
  7. 2011-P Chickasaw 5 oz Silver Uncirculated Coin (+2,078 to 10,736)
  8. 2012 El Yunque Quarters Two-Roll Set (+1,054 to 10,736)
  9. El Yunque Quarter Three-Coin Set (+969 to 12,360)
  10. 2011 Proof Set (+957 to 1,064,245)

Overall, 41 products improved over prior weekly sales as compared to the 32 out-performers noted previously.

American Eagles Improve

Numismatic versions of American Eagles shined last week and the companion bullion issues more recently. Each of the proofs boasted higher weekly sales. Platinum American Eagles rose 87 versus 52 and Gold American Eagles advanced 403 as a group over 308.

Bullion Gold American Eagles rose modestly, up 5,000 against the prior 7-day level of 4,500. After an atrocious gain of 65,000 for the bullion Silver American Eagles, the coins shot up 515,000 thanks in large part to advances of 115,000 on Tuesday and 300,000 on Wednesday.
