US Mint Sales: Abigail; First Spouse Gold Coins Shine Brightest
Abigail Fillmore First Spouse Gold Coins have been added to the latest United States Mint sales report. Their numbers -- along with other gold pieces in the first lady series -- shined the brightest compared to other numismatic products which were mostly sluggish.
Abigail Fillmore $10s reached 2,881 between their launch on Thursday and through Sunday. Their three-day tally was higher than opening sales from the prior four First Spouse coin launches. Figures came in 1,824 for the proof version and 1,057 for the uncirculated option.
The 24 karat coins as a group enjoyed better week-over-week sales -- even after taking out the new Abigail numbers and despite the Anna Harrison's going off sale with zero additions for the week. With these exclusions applied, 174 were purchased last week compared to 127 from the prior one.
