First Spouse Gold Sales Weaken During Holiday

Post holiday US Mint sales figures were a little frightful, since only a few more than one hundred First Spouse Gold Coins were added. The total sold was 113, compared to last week’s 506. Needless to say, these coins were not on many collectors’ minds.

The most popular Spouse coins were the Proof Margaret Taylor’s, Sarah Polk’s and Julia Tyler’s. Each managed 46, 25, and 22 respectively. On the opposite side of the spectrum was the Uncirculated Margaret Taylor coin. It declined by negative 15.

Perhaps the New Year will bring in more sales. Last week the US Mint 2010 Product Schedule was published as well as the 2010 First Spouse coin design images. Abigail Fillmore’s First Spouse gold coins will launch sometime in March.

The following tables compare the prior to most recent US Mint sales data:
