Demand Continues to Rise for First Spouse Gold Coins

Demand for First Spouse Gold Coins is up again, as the series enjoyed another week of rising sales, according to the latest weekly US Mint sales figures.

The Sarah Polk Uncirculated coins outpaced the rest of the group, including Polk’s Proof version for the first time. Collectors purchased 139 more of the coins. The Van Buren Liberty Proof was the second most popular, rising 131 during the week.

Since the new Margaret Taylor First Spouse Gold Coins launch tomorrow, today is the last full day for the Van Buren’s Liberty coins. The Van Buren’s have not reached the same final sales level as the Jackson’s Liberty coins, but they did pass the Louisa Adams coins. The Louisa Adams remain the lowest sold of all the First Spouse Gold coins that are no longer sold by the Mint.
