US Mint First Spouse Gold Coin Sales Sluggish

Sales of US Mint First Spouse Gold coins stalled across the entire series last week. In looking at the latest number, the only happy campers are likely to be collectors who like the mintage figures to stay put and scarce.

In terms of new sales, Anna Harrison gold coins lead again with 55 of the uncirculated and 66 of the proof coins purchased.

The remaining six gold coins have new sale numbers ranging between 10 and 50, with most leaning toward the middle.

Coin prices were lowered on Wednesday, which should help the figures next week.
