Half of the eight available first lady coins performed better than the prior week. The four higher were the Margaret Taylor proof and uncirculated, the Sarah Polk proof, and the Abigail Fillmore uncirculated. The biggest jump went to the uncirculated Margaret Taylor gold piece. In this report the gain was 48 compared to its prior weekly increase of 21. [click to continue…]
Jane Pierce First Spouse Gold Coin demand remained in triple digits while the older 24-karat coins maintained double digit advances, United States Mint sales figures revealed.

First Spouse Gold Coin sales suffered last week while their prices were at all time highs. The combined total sold was about half that of the prior report –427 compared to 841, according to the latest United State Mint sales figures. Only one coin out of the ten available performed better.
Uncirculated Margaret Taylor First Spouse Gold Coins gained 278, which was about 65 percent of the week’s total for the group. The second best seller was Abigail Fillmore’s proof. 67 were purchased. Letitia Tyler’s proof picked up one and was the least popular in this report.

First Spouse Gold Coin sales had a phenomenal 841 contribution in this week’s report, despite the fact that their prices hit an all time high mid-week last. The newest United States Mint sales figures show that all of the coins ended up with positive numbers, and three went into triple digit gains. The others rose by double digits.
The biggest players were Abigail Fillmore and Margaret Taylor’s proofs, each adding 208 and 143 respectively. Abigail Fillmore’s uncirculated made third by picking up 119. In last place was the Letitia Tyler uncirculated at 39. [click to continue…]
It’s quite possible higher prices provoked a major blow to First Spouse Gold Coin sales after last week’s figures had almost doubled. In fact, sales hadn’t declined this much in over a month. How bad was it? The latest US Mint stats have the total at only 133 versus 785. All of the 24 karat gold coins slowed.
Even though the figures showed double digit movement, not all were gains. Two coins, Julia Tyler uncirculated and Letitia Tyler uncirculated both lost significant sales, -28 and -69 respectively. The two most popular purchases were Abigail Fillmore’s proof and uncirculated. Each added 55 and 47, but last week’s numbers were 135 and 72. [click to continue…]
Sales of First Spouse Gold Coins rebounded, the latest United States Mint statistics show. In fact, demand for the coins almost doubled. The combined new sales reached 785, blowing well past last week’s 404.
Buyers, no doubt, recognized the increasing gold value of the 24-karat half ounce coins when the London Fix gold price grew. Since the U.S. Mint waits until the middle of the week to calculate whether a numismatic price change is needed, there were several days of buying before the Mint re-aligned First Spouse coin prices with the market price of gold.
