Sarah Polk Proof sales increased by 113, coming in at the top spot for best seller. The second highest increase went to the Julia Tyler Proofs with their 57 gain. Rounding out the top three was the Sarah Polk Uncirculated coin with 51.
The release of the next coin in the series, the Margaret Taylor First Spouse Coin, is about four weeks away. In the past, the Mint stopped selling the oldest coin when it launched the newest. If sales for the 2008 Van Buren Liberty coins don’t pick up, then Van Buren will rank behind the 2008 Jackson Liberty in scarcity.
