Presidential $1 Coin Sets and the  2012-W American Gold Eagle Uncirculated Coin
Presidential $1 Coin Sets and the 2012-W American Gold Eagle Uncirculated Coin

Based on the latest U.S. Mint sales figures, coin collectors preferred 2012-S Silver Eagle Two Coin Sets, 2012-W Proof Silver Eagles and other annual coin sets over the debuting 2012-W $50 Uncirculated American Gold Eagle Coin and 2012 Presidential $1 Four-Coin Sets.

Only hours remain until the 2012-S Silver Eagle Two Coin Sets go off sale at 5 PM ET today, July 5. Sales over the last seven days jumped 88,562 to 245,131, making it the Mint’s bestselling numismatic product. Those who ordered late may be disappointed in when they get theirs, as the U.S. Mint is saying that sets will be available for shipping on October 31, 2012.

Both San Francisco struck Silver Eagles make the about to expire coin sets attractive, and they also helped excite sales for standard West Point produced 2012-W Proof Silver Eagles as they were the 3rd bestseller of the week. The annual issue rose 19,105 to 475,556.

These two products combined with other coin sets accounted for 9 of Mint’s top 10 numismatic sellers.

Thanks for providing these sales figures. It would be great if there was an obvious link on this site to these mint sales numbers. And if it were updated daily or even weekly, I think it would draw even more visitors to this website.

Thank you for giving us these periodic updates.
