First Spouse Gold Coins were in higher demand, according to the latest US Mint sales report. As a group, they grew by 1,238. The jump was a little surprising since prior totals had been 1,038 and 1,125.
Abigail Fillmore coins were again most popular. Collectors purchased 433 proof and 225 uncirculated. Although Fillmore’s growth is gently losing momentum. Their prior weekly gains were 534 and 232, and the week before that their numbers were 617 and 323.
Two more coins catapulted to triple digit numbers for the sales week. Margaret Taylor proofs jumped by 112, and Letitia Tyler proofs advanced by 104. Impressive, to say the least. The last time these two experienced similar increases was mid-February for Margaret Taylor and mid 2009 for Letitia Tyler. [click to continue…]
Although First Spouse Gold Coin sales as a group have been naturally declining after an initial bump was brought about with the release of the 2010 Abigail Fillmore First Spouse Coins, new totals were only slightly smaller compared to last week’s report. The latest United States Mint weekly data reveals 1,038 were purchased versus 1,125.
The biggest difference can be attributed to the newest coins. 534 proof and 232 uncirculated Abigail Fillmore coins sold last week, as opposed to their previous pick up of 617 and 323. [click to continue…]
Sales remained strong for the new Abigail Fillmore First Spouse coins, the latest US Mint sales data revealed. 617 proofs and 323 uncirculated sold, making their totals 2,441 and 1,380 respectively.
Combined, Abigail Fillmore coins totaled 3,821, which was still higher than the 2nd-week numbers of the last four launches, including the Margaret Taylor coins with 3,138, the Sarah Polk coins at 3,284, the Julia Tyler coins with 2,874, and the Letitia Tyler coins at 3,605.

The first 2010 dated First Spouse Gold Coins debuted in the latest US Mint sales figures. Abigail Fillmore coins shined with three day sales hitting almost 3,000.
The US Mint sold 1,824 proofs and 1,057 uncirculated. Together, collectors took 2,881 of the new coins and made this the best launch in a long time. It was higher than the last four launches, which were 2,839 (MT), 2,605 (SP), 2,369 (JT), and 2,873 (LT). [click to continue…]
According to the most recent US Mint sales figures, demand declined for First Spouse Gold Coins. Total sales fell again, for the second straight week. Just 127 were added, compared to 193 and 507 in prior weeks.
As far as most popular goes, the Margaret Taylor coins took top honors. The proof version sold the most, picking up 39 and beating last week’s increase of 30. The uncirculated version came in second by gaining 19 – a huge improvement over the previous week’s addition of only 4. [click to continue…]
First Spouse Gold Coin sales were down this week, by more than half of last week’s performance in fact, according to the latest US Mint sales figures. The total added was 193, compared to the prior 507. Only one of the ten available 24-karat coins experienced a better-than-before sales improvement.
That was the Anna Harrison proof coin. It jumped by 56, beating last week’s increase of 33. Its total sales are now 6,239, but it has 1,276 more to go – an unlikely feat – in order to reach the same level as the 2008 Van Buren Liberty Proof. [click to continue…]
Sales for US Mint First Spouse Gold Coins were up this week, according to the latest sales figures. Six of the ten available coins outperformed their previous unit increases.
The Anna Harrison Uncirculated coin, that gained 118 last week, lost its footing on the top spot and came in fourth with an increase of 58. The new highest earner in this report was the Sarah Polk Uncirculated, which brought in 89 new sales.
In addition to being most popular for the week, the Polk Uncirculated passed the Julia Tyler Uncirculated in total sales. Polk is now 2,542 and J. Tyler is 2,539. That doesn’t happen often. Usually, if a newer coin passes its predecessor, it doesn’t happen until the predecessor is taken out of the line-up by the Mint. It may not be a big deal though, since the margin is small and both coins will likely be on sale through the summer. [click to continue…]
The latest US Mint sales figures showed 446 new sales for the 24 karat gold First Spouse Coins. One fourth of those new sales belonged to Anna Harrison’s Uncirculated version.
118 Anna Harrison Uncirculated coins were sold, earning the top spot among the highest weekly earners. Harrison’s Proof came in fifth place with 29 sold. Typically, oldest available coins experience a sales rally just before being discontinued from the Mint when a new coin is launched. The Harrison coins were released in March 2009, and the 2010 Abigail Fillmore First Spouse Gold Coins are set to launch next month on March 4.
Fillmore’s launch date might change, however, because the Mint had the March 4 date posted in their 2010 Scheduled Products Listing web page since mid-January, but recently edited it to simply say "March". [click to continue…]
The latest US Mint sales figures showed a return of First Spouse Gold Coin popularity. 943 new sales were recorded since the last set of data was given two weeks ago. (Last week’s figures were not released, and the US Mint headquarters was closed four days due to a couple of major snowstorms.)
The sales surge was expected since the Mint reduced gold coin prices on Jan. 27. On the other hand, the unexpected was the coins that took top sales honors. Anna Harrison’s Uncirculated was most popular, gaining 177, and Letitia Tyler’s Uncirculated hit 2nd by adding 163. Rounding out 3rd place was Margaret Taylor’s Proofs, picking up 144. Normally the newest coins or the Proof versions would be in first place. Perhaps Harrison’s Uncirculated was successful because its sales will likely end around March 4 when the 2010 Abigail Fillmore First Spouse Gold Coins launch.
A few more notables emerged from the sales data. Margaret Taylor’s Uncirculated still hasn’t recovered its all time high sales figure of 1,733 from three weeks ago. It took a hit of -235 in the beginning of February and only grew by 127 to reach its current total of 1,625. One more interesting note was Sarah Polk’s Uncirculated jump of 103, making the new total 2,437. The interesting part? It’s only 41 away from Julia Tyler’s Uncirculated total of 2,478. Usually newer coins don’t catch up with older coins until after the older coins are no longer available from the Mint.

Normally, when US First Spouse Gold Coin prices drop, sales go up. That was not the case this time. According to the latest United States Mint sales data, First Spouse coin sales took a nose dive. Overall sales retreated by negative 188. Last week’s overall was (positive) 240.
This report showed a triple digit adjustment on the Margaret Taylor Uncirculated coins, -235. The Proof version was not much better, dropping back -59. Perhaps the gains made on the Jan. 17 sales data for the Taylor coins, 320 and 261, were the object of the returns, cancellations, or accounting corrections.
Coin prices fell $25, from $729 to $704 for the proofs and $716 to $704 for the uncirculated on Jan. 27. The last time the Mint cut prices was Dec. 16. The following sales report later showed improvements.
On the bright side, the most sought after Spouse coin was the Letitia Tyler proofs, adding 19 and reaching 4,672. In second place was the Sarah Polk proofs, climbing 17 to arrive at 4,118 total.
