The latest US Mint numismatic sales report includes a surprise sell out for one of the 2011 Proof Gold Eagle products and the debut numbers for the Presidential Dollar Coin & First Spouse Medal Set featuring Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln.
Shortly after posting last week's report, the United States Mint stopped selling the one-half ounce individual option for the 2011 Proof Gold Eagle. The sell out was surprising because unit sales were still far below the maximum product limit established by the Mint. This week's report shows sales of 10,166 coins out of the 15,000 limit. It seems that the Mint's total production was below the product limit.
In previous reports, the Proof Gold Eagle product sales had been compared to the product limits to determine proximity to a sell out. If the US Mint did not produce the maximum for one of the options, it is possible that other options were also under produced. This seems to leave the door open for a sell out of the remaining individual one-quarter ounce, one-tenth ounce, and 4 coin set options at any point.
The Presidential $1 Coin & First Spouse Medal Set featuring the 16th President and his wife debuts on this week's report. As with other Lincoln-related products, higher sales were expected. In the opening days, the US Mint recorded sales of 3,753 units. This compares to debut sales figures of 2,080 for the previous set featuring James Buchanan's Liberty and 1,340 for the next prior set featuring Jane Pierce.
On a final note, the 2010 Proof Silver Eagle shows no change in sales from the prior week. I have asked the US Mint for clarification on this figure and will update the report if I receive new information.
