US Mint Sales: Gold Mercury Dime Retreats Further

26
2016 gold Mercury dime
U.S. Mint sales of the gold Mercury dime are at 94.2% of the 125,000 originally available

The U.S. Mint took a break from product launches last week so its latest sales report is kind of same ol’ same ol’ — even down to the agency’s best-sellers with 8 of the top 10 the same as a week earlier.

This week’s report does show a third straight sales regression for the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin. This time, its total retreated 1,046 to 117,695. The U.S. Mint originally had 125,000 available, so the sold amount is 7,305 shy of that.

Mint officials have not announced when/how they will sell the remaining coins. They have got to be in a bit of a bind as there are frustrated collectors who couldn’t buy any. Finding a fair way to distribute the remaining coins may be an impossible challenge.

Also, keep in mind that the final total will not reach 125,000 since the Mint won’t sell returned coins that are bad nor will it make replacements. (Take a look at some gold Mercury dime photos.)

Mike Unser –

The US Mint’s 2016 Uncirculated coin sets or “Mint Sets” were offered for sale st noon today as their newest product.

-NumisDudeTX

Bilelle

I see that the potential number of 2016 W Gold Mercury Dimes has increased now to a little more than 7,000. Looks like the mint has still been at work on sorting out orders and orders that did not fit the 10 per household limit. Mike Unser, I think there is a fair way from the collector’s view point. Consider limiting the offering of these 7,000+ Gold Mercury Dimes to 1 per household for a four week period AND couple that with not accepting any orders from those who purchased on the original release date. Keep that in effect until… Read more »

It should be that the coins are never distributed. That will ONLY serve to destroy the value of the product.

Seth Riesling

700 ounces of 99.99 percent pure 24K gold coins & special custom wooden display cases just sitting gathering dust at the Mint’s Memphis fulfillment warehouse as gold drops yesterday after hours on FOMC minutes interpreted to mean that gold will probably slide lower due to high chance of interest rate increase in July. The Mint’s inaction on this latest debacle is typical for Matthew Rhett Jeppson & his impotent style of non-management! So sad.

-NumisDudeTX

Bilelle

JesustheLionofJudah, Since the mint still has not distributed the number of coins they were authorized to distribute and in view of the greed of some people who may have worked around the rules to enhance their pockets it seems that the mint needs to attempt to level the playing field a bit in distributing the balance of the coins they are authorized to sell. I don’t think the mint should be overly concerned about less than 6% of these coins destroying the value of these coins. It seems the Gold market and interest rates will have more impact on the… Read more »

jim

I sent a letter to Secretary Lew today about the product schedule, gold mercury dimes, and Jeppson’s ineffectiveness as a manager at the US Mint. It went by snail mail so if he reads the letter and then calls Jeppson on the carpet maybe there’ll be some observable changes in another week or two. Or, maybe Lew is as ineffective as Jeppson is and there will be no changes at all.

I tried to copy the letter here but that didn’t work.

Jeff Kinner

There seems to be a problem with the actual number of Gold Mercury dimes. In 40 minutes around 113,000 coins were sold then the mint stopped. They are sold 10 per household for only 210.00, but the greedy dealers out there are sealling them for 170.00 over cost. I’ve seen them as high as 550.00 certified and you can get one done for free by joining ANA. Dealers send in hundreds if not more. But enough of that as we all know what goes on. You have 7,000 or maybe 5,000 left at the mint and they want to know… Read more »

Jp

Bilelle- Very insightful thinking here. I agree with you, however this still leaves us all with what or how to manage the distribution of the final coins. We seem to have some very good ideas already, and I’m sure more will chime in with other great ideas. In the end the Mint will do what the Mint will do. Simple. So folks don’t get your hopes up for any great solution coming from the Mint. I say if you really want one, put your email on the Mints Remind me list and wait… Or; Find your best buy on EBAY… Read more »

Jeff Kinner

Its all about supply and demand…..Ebay has buy it now at very prices over 400-500.00 and the bids are climbing up. The coin only cost 210.00. Since its 10 per household, i’ve seen dealers use friends. Look at all the buy it now, some with a few left but 50+ sold and the same with bids. Remember when the quarters started. The Ga rolls were 100 a roll and now they are worth change. Eventually the curosity will wear off. The price will come down greatly. The cheapest one i’ve seen graded is 350.00. Thats still 140.00 profit. There isn’t… Read more »

Seth Riesling

Tip for the Mint: send out press releases & email your customers & pick a day & time for all who want a gold dime to call customer service phone number & order limit of one coin. The phone reps have all the computer records showing if you already ordered any & if not they would place the order for you. Simple solution!

-NumisDudeTX

joera

Mike Unser,

Thanks for the information on the mintages. It helps me out to know the numbers so I can decide which coins to buy graded.

Bilelle

Mike Unser, Do you have any feel as to the number of Mint orders their system can Handel in a given period of time.I would think they should have some pretty good data based on what they did in the Inital -2016 Gold Mercury Dime sales.

Mike, also on the mint capacity to process orders do you have any feel for the ratio of phone in orders verses on line orders during the mint’s Inital sell in of the 2016 Gold Mercury Dimes?
Thank you for any information that you could share.
Bilelle

jim

It’s a shame the mint can’t share that information itself, assuming they even capture that kind of information. Maybe they do, but not on public forums. Doesn’t help you or anybody else who has questions. Has anybody compared the mint to the NSA in terms of keeping secrets?

Seth Riesling

i have a very old computer & a very new Android smartphone & use both on high volume first day issue items ordering. If my computer freezes up I start dialing for dollars on my smartphone! Most people only order online & therefore I have gotten through on the phone sometimes fairly quickly. Their phone system seems to be able to handle “overload” days much better than their 2 websites (usmint.gov & catalog. usmint.gov)

-NumisDudeTX

Joe

Mike is selling this coin for $299 on CSN. Raw with box only.

Seth Riesling

Joe –

Those are the coins Mezack had returned from grading services that didn’t make the 70 or 69 grades that missed the Mint’s 7-day return period. He offers his rejects on Cable Shopping Network as raw (OGP or OMP) coins as an option.

-NumisDudeTX

Joe

He knows how to work the system.

Bilelle

Bilelle I was thinking as I was reading about .”OUR” various remarks regarding those who who bought large amounts of the Gold Mercury Dimes either directly or indirectly, I think “WE” mostly assume it’s the dealers and often say so here and amount our friends. I spoke with a person not long ago at the Mint that told me that individuals rather than dealers were the largest number of buyers by far,of the Nercury Dimes., So just maybe the “Flipers” are the ones seeing an opportunity and taking full advantage using eBay as 1st choice to flip them and when… Read more »

Jeff Kinner

I noticed in the article it was said that it was not the dealers, but the collectors that have the large amounts. That is not a correct amount has hoseholds were only aloud 10 each. The dealer buyers that are registered to buy in large amounts, but in the 1,000’s. Only a few are kept to collect, but the reat went on Ebay and other auction sites. Even at 10 per house hold, thats 210.00 each selling up to 500.00 on Ebay, but the average 400.00 and thats a 190.00 profit per coin. But in a short time like most… Read more »

Whistler

Email from a dealer today, Gold Mercury in OMP for $269! Some1 may be getting bubbasized on this, hope the flipped have to bendover to pik up these & grab an ankle of 2, as the price seems to falling. Like it should, the collectors are just fed up w/the mint’s bogus act

Seth Riesling

Jeff Kinner –

I agree about prices going down on these coins. The prices for these gold dimes in original Mint boxes (OMP, OGP) are very low at about $275, just $70 above issue price of $205 on April 21. And the 69 & 70 graded coins are only $20 to $75 more from some dealers.
The mintage was just too high at 125,000 even for a beautiful, affordable coin.

Happy collecting Jeff!

-NumisDudeTX

joe#2

IMO, Th.e OGP should do as well as the graded 70..Or close to it in time.

Bilelle

I see that with one of the latest accounting of the 2016 Proof Mercury Dimes, that
the number possibly for sale could approach 9000 coins.
Thinking about the Minit schedule for the rest of the year, there seems to be a lot of production required to make the list of items come true along with possible surprise introductions.

Has anyone heard anymore about maybe when the almost 9000 2016 Gold Proof Mercury Dimes might be put up for sale?

Does anyone have any thoughts on how much notice might be given for the sale of these approximate 9000 Coins?
Bilelle

jim

Well, I clicked on the remind me button but have yet to receive a reminder from the mint that coins are available. So if they are in fact available the mint doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to sell them. Maybe people within the mint aren’t talking to each other so the selling arm doesn’t know the restocking arm has 9000 sitting around gathering dust on the shelves.

Bilelle

Hi Jim On, I hope I did not miss lead you about the approx 9000 2016 Gold Proff Mercury Dimes. What I was trying to Say is that with all the accounting work the people at the mint now know that they are Just short of 9000 Gold Proof Mercury Dimes from reaching the set limit of 125,000 coins, So I was implying If they decided to go to the maximum number they are allowed by the Congressional Bill, they could still Sell up to nearly 9,000 coins. I have no idea how many actual coins they produced, but if… Read more »

jim

Bilelle – No, not mislead. The calculated number of what should be available coins isn’t the issue. My more than anything complaint is that there is no communication from the mint to the buying public (i.e. collectors). They have everybody’s email addr and yet fail to use it to inform what’s going on with the mint both in the dime availability (when and how many) and all other products listed in the Product Schedule which still have nebulous month dates or TBD. Here we are almost at the middle of the year and there are still 10 TBD’s without even… Read more »
