These prices are a far cry from where they started at the beginning of the series. In 2007, the Martha Washington First Spouse Coins were only $429.95 and $410.95. Those sold out within hours, all 40,000 of them. Sizable profits could be realized in selling them for their gold values alone. When the 2008 Van Buren’s Liberty coins launched, they were priced at $549.95 and $524.94.
In this week’s US Mint sales data, only one of the ten available First Spouse coins experienced higher sales than the last report. The Van Buren’s Liberty Proof rose by 63 compared to last week’s 36. It was the second most popular coin in this report. Sarah Polk Proofs earned top honors at 76.
The Mint posted a countdown on their web site to show that there are only 22 days left to purchase the 2008 Van Buren’s Liberty coins. As it stands, the Van Buren Proofs are at 7,234 and the uncirculated at 4,165. They are not far behind the lowest minted 2008 Louisa Adams coins with their 7,454 proofs and 4,223 uncirculated. The deadline for the Van Buren coins signify the release of the next coin in the series. The Margaret Taylor First Spouse Gold Coins will launch December 3rd.
