While last week’s report showed half of the coins with triple digit increases, this week only showed one – the Sarah Polk Proof coin. It jumped by 149. The two coins that saw the most dramatic decline in new sales were the Julia Tyler Uncirculated and the Van Buren Liberty Uncirculated. Julia Tyler only increased by 45 compared to the prior 144, and Van Buren just gained 25 compared to the prior 128.
Although the Van Buren Liberty coin sales were sluggish, they still reached new milestones. The Van Buren Liberty Proof coin broke 7,000 and the uncirculated version reached 4,000. It’s still too early to tell if the Van Buren’s will be able catch up with any of the other 2008 released First Spouse Coins.
