Remarkably, collectors scooped up nearly twice as many First Spouse Gold Coins in the latest round of weekly sales than previously. Half of the coins leaped with triple digit gains, according to the United States Mint statistics.
In all, 759 coins sold compared to 381. The split was fairly close between proofs and uncirculated, 405 and 354 respectively.
James Buchanan’s Liberty sold the most and the least. First, his uncirculated version climbed by 161 and topped all the other coins.
It was an impressive jump compared to 113 in the last round. As for the least, his proof version slipped again. It declined by -1, even though it has been "sold out" for a couple of weeks (see Buchanan’s Liberty Proof Coin Sells Out.)
The Buchanan proof total rolled down to 7,313 while the uncirculated grew to 4,735. Together that equaled 12,048, which was higher than the 2008 Van Buren’s Liberty First Spouse coin mintage of 11,849.
Jane Pierce’s uncirculated took the number two spot on the charts. Collectors picked up 152 of them. The other high performing coins were the Abigail Fillmore proofs, which rose 130, and Pierce’s proof, which jumped 129. Mary Lincoln’s proof trailed only slightly with an addition of 96.
