First Spouse Gold Coins are shining a bit brighter of late. New US Mint figures show sales improved across all options.
Julia Tyler coins were the trophy winners, earning the top two spots for most sold. The US Mint placed the $10 gold pieces on sale Thursday, August 6. By Sunday, August 9, collectors purchased 1,539 proof and 830 uncirculated.
With both Letitia and Julia Tyler First Spouse Coins now available, there are ten coins in the series to choose from instead of eight which has been the norm for over a year. Will more options help or hurt future sales?
The following tables compare the prior to most recent Mint sales data:
