Sales summations from sister sites of CoinNews follow:

  • First Spouse Gold Coin Sales Figures – FirstSpouseCoins.us
    There are no exceptionally flashy numbers to report in the latest round of US Mint First Spouse Gold Coin sales figures. With the exception of the two newest issues, no First Lady commemorative managed to surpass 46 in news sales last week.
  • Silver Coin Sales Lower, Silver Eagles Flying – SilverCoinsToday.com
    US coin sales are usually mixed with both ups and downs when comparing week-over-week performances. Not so for last week. Sales declined for all US Mint collector silver coin and set offerings. However, in what could be a hint for next week’s collector coin numbers, bullion silver coins (non collector versions) have been blistering hot.

The non bullion coin sales figures above have an "as of date" of July 12. The last reported sales figures are located at US Mint Coin Sales Eased During Summer Break. NumisMaster has an image of recent sales here.
