The U.S. Mint has released its weekly numismatic sales report, giving us our first look at numbers for the 2016 U.S. Mint Uncirculated Set and the 2016 Gerald Ford One Dollar Coin Cover.
The 2016 U.S. Mint Uncirculated Set has sold 127,489 units since its debut last Wednesday, by far the highest total posted by any product during this period. Sales for the set constituted 81% of all new purchases counted on this report, but marked a decrease compared to last year’s issue, which sold 144,137 units during its first week.
Second place went to last week’s other new product, the Ford One Dollar Cover Cover, which sold 10,499 units. The 2016 U.S. Mint Proof Set was close behind, grabbing third with an impressive 10,362 units sold.
One again, negative corrections make up an important part of this week’s story. Those keeping tabs on the fate of the 2016 Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin will care to know that the item had its sales total adjusted downward by 1,396 pieces to 116,299. This is the fourth significant decrease in a row for the item, which continues to be audited as the Mint decides how best to make the remaining dimes available to collectors. The present tally leaves room for the sale of up to 8,701 more coins before reaching the 125,000-piece mintage limit.
Also of interest is a surprising 8,529-set downward adjustment for the 2016 U.S. Mint Silver Proof Set, which saw its overall total drop from 196,188 to 187,659 units during this period.
Mintage limits for the products on the following report can be viewed on the Coin Update Mintage Limit Chart. The full weekly sales report is included below.

The year is almost half over and the Silver Eagles are not even on the product schedule! They have had plenty of time to figure out and configure the dies for edge lettering. They have been doing it on the dollar coins for 9 years for crying out loud. Get your act together US Mint!
i have a question maybe Mr.Holmes you can help with(or anyone else??)in my 2011 red book the mintage on the “yellowstone” commem is listed at 23,000 and change and in the new book it is listed at 82,000 and change.i did look at different sites,at NGC it is listed at 82,000 and at PCGS it is listed at 62,000……why is there a sudden big discrepancy in the numbers? why ,after 12 years would the red book change numbers? in an earlier edition.say the 2006? 2005? is there another discrepancy??? and is this the only one that varies so greatly varied? anyone that can help ,thank you
@brent – The red book always has some errors in it and they try to correct on a continual basis. I would believe the latest numbers but always be wary of any of the numbers. For instance, they list mitages instead of sales for the presidential dollars and kennedy halves.
Brent, Dave is right. Here’s an explanation from Whitman’s publisher: “The U.S. Mint releases various kinds of mintage information at different times. Some of its numbers are sales figures, which until they’re audited and finalized don’t account for returns, errors, etc. Final, audited numbers often are released years after a coin type is minted. For the Red Book we depend on our contacts at the Mint for the most up-to-date data, always keeping in mind that quantities can be changed as new information becomes available. This applies to older (“classic”) commemoratives, as well. For example, Ken Bressett observes this about the 1921 Alabama commemorative half dollar, which has experienced updates in recent years as justified by ongoing research: ‘Numbers for the 1921 Alabama Commemorative coins have been adjusted over the years in an effort to reflect quantities close to the actual quantity of coins sold. Apparently no accurate records were kept, and much of the original mintage was never sold and ultimately destroyed. The current figures shown in the Red Book are the best estimates available based on research by experts, dealers, and grading service records. They are italicized in the book to indicate that they are estimates and not precise quantities. The change was made because the older figures were not indicative of the realistic survival rate.'” — Dan
