Higher gold prices last week kindled demand for bullion and collector gold coins produced by the United States Mint, new sales figures from the bureau show. While many U.S. Mint products shuffled sideways, gold coins staked out sizable week-over-week improvements.
Prominent among them were American Gold Eagles — all sizes and types. Across collector uncirculated and proof Gold Eagles, unit sales increased 1,178 compared to the previous 357. In investment-grade bullion Gold Eagles, a combined 13,500 ounces sold versus the prior 7,250 ounces.
It was the same for American Gold Buffalo coins. Proofs advanced 298 against the previous 163 while the bullion versions added 3,500 compared to 2,000.
Yet, unless gold prices leap forward, the next U.S. Mint sales report could reflect contraction in collector gold coins with the recent price increases and news of fewer First Spouse coins.
U.S. Mint Top Selling Numismatic Products of the Week

Making American History Coin and Currency Set
Sales of the Making American History Coin and Currency Set are slowing down as the number of days pass since the August 7th release. Its latest weekly increase was 2,979, which is down from the prior 6,769. The set is now at 33,878 for 67.8% of the initial 50,000 production and 33.9% of the potential 100,000.
US Coin Sales: Bullion Coin Products
There is a significant uptick in sales of gold coins, as already covered, and of the five ounce America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins. On the flip side, demand has been weaker for the popular bullion Silver Eagle. The following table offers the breakdowns.

Alright, who’s the ONE guy in this country who returned his Andrew & Eliza Johnson Presidential Coin & First Spouse Medal set? Come on…Fess up!!
Probably Joe.
BTW, how does one sell 5,579 of 5,000 (Lucretia Garfield Proof)? Oh, I get it, another typo by coinnews. Mike, you’ve got to get somebody to help you proof read your numbers. At least the S mint SAEs are listed even if the mint won’t admit to all the cancellations they received.
Does anyone think they will stop the coin & currency set at the initial 50,000, or go to the potential 100,000, since they’re not selling well. I don’t know why more people do not jump on it, just to get the Silver Eagle.
Hi Joe, It’s the Math that is holding down sales on the ASE “S” coin and currency set. You have to clear more than usual to make a profit on this set and this is not attractive to dolphins (flippers). You must clear the cost of the set and the mint’s cost/profit including the note and NGC’s additional $6 per coin for the special “S” mint label. The bottom line is that if you do not receive a perfect “70” grade on the coin it is not a safe play for dealers (or collectors wanting that want to turn a… Read more »
I don’t think they’ll even get to the first 50,000, let alone 100,000. After all, there’s nothing unique or special about the set other than the packaging. I suppose there are people who missed the MONTH long window to buy the proof SAE and the C&C set does offer the coin at a discount to the 2 coin set…
The mint has not even finished shipping the 2 coin “S” sets. I placed an order in the 3rd week of June and it has an expected ship date of 9/28. As a seller I am worried that we will miss the Holiday season if there are any further delays.
If you read my post above you will see that coin/currency set is not at a discount to the 2 coin set when looking at the potential return on the coin. If you are only looking at difference in purchase price then, yes, the C&C set costs less to buy.
RonnieBGood You’re right there is not much room for profit. I just checked out modern coin mart. They’re getting $129 for the S proof 70 Silver eagle with 66 grade note But the proof 2012 S is going to have the lowest mintage of all the regular proof silver eagles whether they sell 50000 or 100000.. It doesn’t matter. How much is a 1994 P Proof Silver Eagle going for right now at raw, 69 or 70? Thanks RonnieBGood and Jim for your reply.
Joe- Yes, it would take about $150 to make a good profit from a graded C&C set. With regards to the 2012 “S” proof there is a quandary. Will collectors truly regard this as a regular proof silver eagle? Will this be issued yearly like the Unc series (on/off again)? The Unc / burnished series have lower mintages but prices have not reflected this. The 25th ann. sets have low mintages but you can still get them individually very reasonably priced. I have recently seen several 2011 W 25th ann., Early Releases, NGC graded MS 69 for $39.99 on eBay.… Read more »
Hey George,
Watch the price of Gold spike with news of QE3.
Also, Left a post for you with the Spouse article below.
RonnieBGood, Is that a 2011 EAGLE S$1 25TH ANNIVERSARY SET EARLY RELEASES NGC MS 69, or is it a 2011 EAGLE S$1 25TH ANNIVERSARY EARLY RELEASES NGC MS 69, for $39.99 on eBay? There is a difference in the price.
This is the kind of thing that pi–es off the collector in me. I found no less than 8 different labels for the same 2011 coin. Brown, Red, Blue, Gold (West Point), Early Release or not, Set or not. Label aside it’s the same coin from the same Mint.
Another example of labeling gone wild.
Just wanted to know if it had the word *set on the lable, for $39.99.
Sorry Joe,
I am just frustrated with the grading companies and their labeling schemes. It is drawing attention away from what really matters, the coin itself.
Have a nice holiday RonnieBGood. I understand. Should be grade that only matters.
I totally agree.
I’ve never had a coin graded – is there a special fee added to get a certain color/type label or is it just timing or following their rules (e.g. unopened packaging) that dictates the label? In other words is there a cheapest of all fee to just get a coin graded without the special labeling?
jim, NGCcoin.com
Thanks, Joe. I’ll bookmark this site. I’ve got a couple coins that I’m curious about so maybe this will get me going to finding out what they’re really worth.
Question: if a coin is graded 69 for example, do any of the graders point to or say specifically why it didn’t get graded a 70?
Good question jim, they don’t tell you where the flaw is on the coin. I never questioned it.
With the coin and currency set still available from the mint, I wouldn’t see why they would have a very high markup in secondary market right now. Flippers do have a dillema. They won’t know the profit till they are sold out at the mint. As long as flippers stay away, I like the long term prospects. All the flippers really do is increase the supply of coins. Coin grading of modern coins is just a way to suck money away from collectors. What is the difference between a 69 or 70? It is mostly perceptions in my opinion. Most… Read more »
Obviously the difference between a 69 grade and a 70 grade, is the money you receive when you decide to sell. That’s just the way it is.
It’s the difference between imperfect and perfect. And yes a shiny coin is a shiny coin but if it has a date of 1995 and a W it’s a very rare coin, and supply and demand come into play. There are probably hundreds of thousands of sets with that 1995 W hole and only 30,000 that don’t have the hole. Who wants a set with the hole?
It’s the only hole I have. Bummer!
OK, I stumbled on this site by accident but I have a timely question. I’m about to buy a few Gold American Eagle $50 coins. Can someone give me an approximate price I should pay for these. The best quote I got was $70 over spot.
Thanks,
Bob
Bob, $70 over spot for a bullion $50 Gold Eagle is within the realm of normal right now. It depends on the coin’s date, current trend of gold, amount of competition in area, etc., but dealers often pay around 2-3% over spot per new $50 Eagle and sell for around 4% over.
thanks for the prompt reply. I appreciate the information.
Bob
Did I get a good deal? Traded 360 fifty cent pieces (silver) plus 1,100 cash for 3 %50 american gold eagles, 2012.
