The US Mint is the most active mint in the world, producing billions of circulating coins, tens of millions of bullion coins, and millions of numismatic or collector coins every single year. CoinNews.net publishes at least one weekly report of current US Mint Sales Figures, as provided by the Mint directly. These sales figures are indispensable to both coin collectors and investors for determining current demand, coin mintages, and more. For a daily update on gold and platinum coin sales, also check out the CoinNews.net page: Mint Coin Prices and Sales.
Buying activity increased for U.S. Mint numismatic products following three somewhat humdrum weeks. The launch of bags and rolls of El Yunque Quarters lifted demand for other quarter products, American Eagle coins were hotter, several annual sets improved and many Presidential $1 coin offerings were up, the latest U.S. Mint sales figures show.
In all, 62 products improved over prior weekly sales versus 21 out-performers noted previously [...]

Demand for 22-karat American Gold Eagle bullion coins grew for a second straight month in January. The United States Mint reported sales of 127,000 ounces, marking a gain of 61,500 ounces, or 93.9%, over the previous month.
With that total, the month ranks as the fourth best January in the twenty-six year history of American Eagle program. It is also the highest monthly amount since January 2011 when 133,500 ounces were ordered [...]

Last month turned energetic for U.S. Mint sales of the American Silver Eagle bullion coin. Barely missing out as the best ever selling month, January now ranks second all-time for the series which dates back to 1986.
Buyers scooped up 6,107,000 Silver Eagles during the month. That was 315,000 away from matching the all-time monthly record of 6,422,000 set in January 2011 and a scant 350,000 away from equaling the combined monthly sales totals from December, November and October [...]

Collector buying activity remained mostly muted for a second straight week, the newest U.S. Mint sales figures show. American Eagles and five ounce silver uncirculated coins were among the few numismatic products to outperform their prior weekly sales.
For the Mint’s biggest coins, America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins advanced 3,563 as a group compared to 2,931 previously. The only five ounce coin to record [...]

Throw out the debuting 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Proof Set from the latest United States Mint weekly sales figures and there are only a few interesting items of note left.
Numismatic (and bullion) product sales are significantly slower in this round. Specifically, 29 U.S. Mint products improved over their prior weekly sales versus the 48 out-performers noted in the previous sales report. Two-dozen of the overachievers were lower priced products. In the $50+ category of mint offerings, only a handful of week-over-week gains were realized. Those included the 2011-W Proof Platinum Eagle and four First Spouse Gold Coins [...]

Newly released sales figures show elevated interest in United States Mint products following the entrance of the 2011-P Vicksburg National Military Park Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin and the 2012 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set.
And despite higher prices, American Gold Eagles rallied. Each of the collector coins garnered improved weekly sales, perhaps generated by bullish sentiment toward gold and expectations of rising coin prices. Proof Gold Eagles rose 1,562 across all product options as compared to the previous weekly increase of [...]

A lack of new U.S. Mint releases and disappearing older coins and sets weighed down sales of most numismatic products last week, but freshly issued 2012-dated American Eagles kept sales of bullion coins burning.
For numismatic products, a scant 10 improved over their prior weekly sales as compared to the 56 out-performers noted previously. Leading U.S. Mint sales were uncirculated Silver Eagles and annual sets.
Numismatic products are getting a much needed boost this week. On Tuesday, the U.S. Mint released its 2012 ATB Quarters Silver Proof Set and on Thursday it will [...]

It was almost back to basics for collectors as the latest United States Mint sales figures show improved demand for numismatic products containing silver coins, Presidential $1 coins and America the Beautiful Quarters. Updates sales for the 2010-dated annual sets which were taken off sale on December 30 are also available.
Demand for silver coins was augmented due to their price reductions on December 27. The Uncirculated American Silver Eagle, which had its price cut by $5, jumped [...]
