First Spouse Gold Coin Sales Gain Momentum

It’s seems likely that the demand for gold has helped US First Spouse Gold Coin sales rise. Overall sales have been experiencing a steady upward trend for the last three weeks, despite their increases on Nov. 12th to the highest level since the series started in 2007.

The Julia Tyler Proof coins gained the most by adding 87 this week, according to the latest US Mint sales figures. Last week, none were sold. The second and third biggest sellers were the Sarah Polk Proofs, adding 71 to their sales figure, and the Van Buren Liberty Proofs, adding 70.

The Van Buren’s Liberty coins will only be available another nine days, since the deadline to complete an order is December 3rd. December 3rd is also the launch date of the next coins in the series, the Margaret Taylor First Spouse Gold Coins.
