First Spouse Coin Sales Slip

Sales retreated again for the beautiful 24-karat First Spouse Gold Coins. In fact, the total unit increase for the seven day period was less than half of what it was in the prior report.

Sarah Polk Proofs still led the First Spouse series by adding 79, but both Anna Harrison Proofs and Letitia Tyler Proofs lost 22 and 5 sales respectively. Harrison’s total sales slid down to 5,773 and Letitia’s dropped to 4,297.

Perhaps sales will improve when the coin prices drop. If prices remain high, the First Spouse series might not pick up again until the next new coin is released in December.
