US Mint Sales: UHR’s Double, Guam Quarters Surge, Rail Splitter Cents Near 24 Million

0

US Mint Sales Figures ImageNew UHR $20 gold coin sales double up, Guam quarters soar, Braille Silver Dollars sink, and Lincoln Rail Splitter totals approach 24 million. To the US Mint numbers…

Bags and rolls of Guam quarters went on sale May 26 and in less than a week their numbers outshined the first weekly performance of the Puerto Rico quarters. And that happened prior to collectors learning of the extremely low Guam quarter mintage. Instead of rehashing the same details here again, read the CoinNews article entitled Guam Quarter Mintage & Sales Figures.

Sales of new Lincoln penny rolls continue to slow, yet an additional 14,539 of the two-roll sets were purchased just last week. An amazing 23.7M Rail Splitter Cents were sold from May 14 to May 31.

Braille Silver Dollar demand wilted following an impressive rise in the prior week. The latest US Mint numbers show 2,823 more were acquired for a new total of 168,564 across the proof and uncirculated options.

In a real surprise, sales of Ultra High Relief (UHR) $20 gold coins jumped and nearly doubled their "normal" weekly gains. Last week’s rallying gold prices apparently made the coins more attractive for those waiting for such a game changer.

Higher gold prices appear to have helped First Spouse Gold Coins as well. All but one of the eight gold pieces had higher numbers. And two picked up very nicely compared to recent weeks. For more, read Adams First Spouse Gold Coins Lead Sales.

And for the latest sales figures on additional US Mint collector coins and sets not reported here, read about the latest US Silver Coin Sales. Most interesting in this report are the elevated 2009 DC & US Territories Quarters Silver Proof Set numbers.

Here are the individual breakouts for each coin discussed above:
