In an unusual week of reporting for the series, Anna Harrison First Spouse Gold Coin sales declined but tallies for all other First Lady coins were higher.
More coin collectors are buying up Louisa Adams First Spouse coins in particular. New sales for the uncirculated coin increased by 187 and the proof option saw a rise of 209. The numbers are nothing to shout home about, but are actually solid when it comes to the series. As a comparison, the same coins totals in the prior report were 55 and 45, respectively.
Why the increased interest in Louisa Adams? The Adams’ will be taken off US Mint store shelves in three weeks when gold coins honoring Letitia Tyler go on sale June 4.
As a reminder, when this week’s sales are reported next week, the First Spouse Coin price increases are likely to play into the picture. Prices on Wednesday went up $25 for each gold coin option.

First Spouse Gold Coin sales dropped across all but two proof options, the latest United States Mint sales figures reveal.
Jackson’s Liberty and Louisa Adams proof coins managed to remain level without declines, and came in with sales increases of 1.0 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, which is the same as the previous reported gains.
On a unit basis, the proof Anna Harrison climbed the most with 101 purchased. Van Buren’s Liberty uncirculated coin recorded the lowest number of sales, with 40 more sold.

It was an ungentle week for First Spouse Gold Coin sales, to say the least. With the exception of Anna Harrison spouse coins, all other figures fell.
The US Mint does not include reasons for coin movements, up or down, in their weekly sales reports. However, at least a portion of the declines is likely attributed to returns, with collectors sending back recent purchases following the $25 price reduction last Wednesday for each coin.
Demand for 2009 Anna Harrison First Spouse Gold Coins picked up despite her sister coin loses. Unit sales for the proof were up 173 while the uncirculation option climbed 69. Since they first went on sale March 5, a combined 8,529 have been sold.

With the exception of 2009 Anna Harrison First Spouse Gold Coins, demand for the series picked up across the board, according to the latest sales figures from the United States Mint.
The Harrisons were issued March 5, giving them an edge in newness. But as is typical with fresh coin launches, sales peak early, and then gradually decline. The percent increase figures shine compared to the other coins, but they are lower than last week.
Interestingly, when looking at the column for number of coins sold ("Unit Increase") over the last report, uncirculated 2009 Anna Harrison coins are lower than the 2008-dated counterparts.
In other news for the series this week, the US Mint issued the Harrison Presidential $1 & First Spouse Medal Set on the 7th and First Spouse Coin prices dropped by $25 on Wednesday. The latter may have some impact on next week’s figures.

Last week’s US Mint sales figures showed how collectors were focused on buying the newly released 2009 Anna Harrison Spouse Coins, to the detriment of the remaining 2008 gold options.
The latest numbers still reflect strong interest in the Anna Harrisons, but nowhere near the level of the first week’s surge, and sales of the remaining spouse coins picked up across the board. The proof versions went into three-digits for a change.
The 2008 Elizabeth Monroe First Spouse Coins will be pulled from next week’s report. The numbers have not changed for three weeks and are final. (The Mint pulled the coins from store shelves with the release of the Anna Harrison coins on March 5.) The Monroe spouse sales end with a total of 12,452 coins sold, which is the the lowest close in the series to date.

First Spouse Gold Coin Sales picked up nicely, according to the latest United States Mint figures. Coin prices were lowered on Wednesday, March 4th, which helped since gold prices had been falling.
The US mint also issued Anna Harrison First Spouse Gold coins on Thursday, March 5th. That at least focused more collector eyes on the series for a time.
Van Buren’s Liberty Spouse Coins performed the best, with a 2.2 percent increase in uncirculated coin sales and a better 2.3 percent increase in proofs, as compared to the prior week’s numbers.
2008 Elizabeth Monroe First Spouse Gold coin numbers are unchanged, and could very well be final. The Mint pulled the coins from store shelves with the release of the 2009 Anna Harrison coins.
