The latest report of the United States Mint’s numismatic product sales shows mostly lower numbers for precious metals products. Elsewhere in the report, the Chester Arthur Presidential $1 Coin and Alice Paul Bronze Medal Set makes its debut.
Ten out of sixteen gold numismatic products showed weekly sales declines compared to the prior period. The US Mint currently has these products priced based on an average gold price within the $1750 to $1799.99 range. With the market price of gold below this range for the entire reporting period, buyers may be showing restraint as they await the next weekly pricing adjustment.
Eighteen out of twenty-seven of the silver numismatic products showed weekly sales declines compared to the prior period. The US Mint raised prices for many of these products earlier in the month when the market price of silver was approaching $35 per ounce. Silver has since fallen back from this level, although the higher product prices remain in effect. The America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Coins showed sales declines across all nine options currently available. Gains were seen for the 2012 Proof and 2012-W Uncirculated Silver Eagles compared to the prior period.
The 2012 Proof Platinum Eagle, which is the only available platinum product, showed negative sales on the week.
On October 18, 2012, the US Mint began sales of the Presidential $1 Coin and First Spouse Medal Set featuring Chester Arthur and Suffragist Alice Paul. This product represented the first appearance of the Alice Paul Bronze Medal. Through the reporting date of October 22, sales have reached 1,025 sets. The last release for the product type, featuring James & Lucretia Garfield had debuted with sales of 1,521.

The first number column represents total sales through the reporting date, and the second number column represents the change in sales since the last report.

I wonder why the figures for the 30th of october aren’t available yet.
There was a hurricane. A lot of the northeast of the United States is without power.
