US Mint Sales: Medal of Honor Commemorative Coins Debut

Several newly released United States Mint numismatic products make their debut on this week's sales report. This is highlighted by the 2011 Medal of Honor Gold and Silver Coins, which represent the second of two commemorative coin programs for this year. Other new products include the Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar Rolls and 2011 Presidential $1 Coin Proof Set.

The Medal of Honor Commemorative Coins went on sale February 25, 2011. The products include $5 gold coins and silver dollars in proof or uncirculated versions. All coins are sold individually, with no multi-coin products offered. Through the sales reporting date of February 27, 2011, the US Mint received orders for 6,589 gold coins and 35,502 silver dollars. This is much lower than the debut sales figures for this year's other commemorative coin program honoring the U.S. Army, which started with sales of 10,906 gold coins and 67,593 silver dollars.

The difference is partially explained by the shorter debut period for the Medal of Honor Coins, which went on sale on a Friday, meaning initial sales cover only two days. The Army coins went on sale Monday, resulting in almost a full week of sales include in the initial figures. A long road remains ahead for both offerings, which are expected to remain available for sale until pre-announced date near the end of the year.

Andrew Johnson Presidential Dollar rolls started with sales of 23,211 Philadelphia Mint rolls and 22,523 Denver Mint rolls. This is down about 50% compared to the initial figures for the numismatic rolls of the previous issue of the series featuring Abraham Lincoln. However, the numbers are about even with the initial figures for next previous issue featuring James Buchanan. Numismatic products featuring Lincoln tend to be very popular with collectors.

The 2011 Presidential Dollar Proof Set began with sales of 163,129. This is down significantly from the opening sales for last year's comparable product at 22,426. The 2010 set was released ahead of the full annual set and included the first appearance of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Dollar. It had also been priced $4 lower.
