On Tuesday, the U.S. Mint will introduce its five-coin 2015 America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set for $14.95, and then on Thursday it will launch 2015 Harry S. Truman Presidential $1 Coins in rolls and bags at prices ranging from $32.95 to $111.95.

Coverage of the U.S. Marshals Service 225th Anniversary Commemorative Coins will continue. Interestingly, the article on first day sales of the seven commemorative products picked up more reads than the piece about their release. We’ll have updated Marshals coin sales figures early this week. They won’t rise as much as they could have. By Saturday, 4 of the 7 products were marked as "out of stock," meaning the U.S. Mint has to strike and package more coins before those products will return on sale. There is a possibility that the three-coin proof set has sold out. Nearly 2/3 of the available 15,000 had been ordered in the first 12 hours.

Here are last week’s five most read articles:

  5. NASA Space-Flown Gold Sells for $1,373 Per Oz – It turns out that space-flown gold isn’t all that more expensive than regular earth grounded gold bars or gold coins, at least when buying from the government.
