As a group, the 24-karat gold coins gained just 588, compared to their 1,238 jump last week. Prices increased on Wednesday, April 14. It may have been higher costs that caused the slump, or perhaps a distraction like the IRS tax deadline on April 15.
Even though sales drastically slowed, each offering still earned double digit increases, except Abigail Fillmore coins that recorded triple digits. The Fillmores jumped about the same: 172 for the proofs and 167 for the uncirculated.
The coin that was least popular was Sarah Polk’s uncirculated. It picked up just 12 after advancing 40 in last week’s report. Even the oldest coins available, the 2009 Letitia Tyler’s, sold more. They hit 30 and 19 for the proofs and uncirculated.
Both Letitia Tyler coins broke new thresholds in this report. The total for the proofs passed the 5,000 mark, and the total for the uncirculated passed the 3,000 mark.
