Rising performances were noted for many coin products, according to US Mint weekly sales news updates. And the debut sales figures for Glacier quarters were also released.
The Glacier quarters are following the lead of previous issues from the US Mint’s America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. Sales of the quarter bags and rolls were lower than past releases. In their opening, buyers grabbed about half of the Glacier quarter bags and three-quarters of the rolls as compared to the very first Hot Springs quarter issue.
In terms of improved numismatic weekly sales, 54 distinct US Mint products outperformed their previous gains. This is substantially better than what the numbers have been showing for several weeks. For example, just 26 products had better week-over-week sales in the previous reporting.
