First Spouse Coin Sales Lean Lower, Louisa Adams’ Final Week

First Spouse Coin Sales were mixed last week, but mostly leaned lower following the prior week where every coin had declined in performance.

In comparing US Mint figures from the week prior and week-over-week percent increases, two of eight coins inched higher, two were unchanged and four slipped. Anna Harrison gold coins lead with 1.1 percent increases. The proof version also garnered the top spot for most coins sold at an unremarkable 50.

In related news, the US Mint updated its’ coin schedule for the second time in June. The release date for Letitia Tyler First Spouse Gold Coins has shifted again, but this time just one day ahead to June 2.

When the new coins launch, the US Mint will no longer offer Louisa Adams First Spouse Gold Coins. That could potentially help their sales — although they were the recipient of at least one bump in numbers several weeks back (presumably the result of collectors preparing for their departure on June 4 when the Letitia Tyler coin was first scheduled for release).
