Lincoln First Spouse Gold Coins Lead

Since prices have been at an all time high, and only three coins remain available, it is no wonder sales for First Spouse Gold Coins fell from a cumulative total of 515 in the prior round down to 179. Prices increased on Wednesday, April 13 by $25 to $904 and $891 for the proof and uncirculated versions due to the rising price of gold on the market.

Of the three coins still being offered by the United States Mint, the uncirculated Lincoln First Spouse Gold Coins lead, climbing another 101. The Lincoln proofs added 58. Together their new sales totals came to 9,237.

The last available coin, Abigail Fillmore’s proof, rose by 30, which helped its total cross the 6,000 marker. Fillmore’s combined mintage of proof and uncirculated equaled 9,492. It is hard to predict whether demand will increase or slow for Fillmore’s proof in its final two weeks. Sales for the coin will likely halt when the US Mint launches Eliza Johnson’s First Spouse Coins on May 5, 2011.

A backwards move occurred with the sold out Buchanan’s Liberty uncirculated coin, as they went in the hole by 10. Their total moved from 5,364 down to 5,354. The collective figure of both uncirculated and proof ended up at 12,658 which is still the fifth best in the series. It trails Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison.
