Highlights of the latest weekly United States Mint numismatic product sales report are the debut figures for the 2011 Silver Proof Set and the Gettysburg Quarter bags and rolls. Sales of numismatic gold coins slowed, despite a pricing decrease implemented during the week.
The 2011 Silver Proof Set went on sale January 25, 2011. Each set includes 14 coins, with seven of them struck in a composition of 90% silver. The sets were priced at $67.95, representing an increase of $11 from the prior year set, due to the higher market price of silver. Through the sales reporting date of January 30, customers ordered 209,367 sets. This represents a slower start than the last two years when debut figures had come in at 271,372 (2009) and 241,656 (2010).
The US Mint began sales of the Gettysburg National Military Park Quarter bags and rolls on January 27. In the opening days, sales reached 3,275 of the 100-coin bags from the Philadelphia Mint, 3,230 of the 100-coin bags from the Denver Mint, and 20,871 of the two roll sets.
At mid-week, the US Mint reduced the prices of the available numismatic gold coins, in line with the recent decline in the market price of the metal. The 2010 Proof Gold Buffalo recorded its lowest weekly sales on record at 185 coins. The 2010 First Spouse Gold Coins sold 274 across the eight different product options.

Thanks for the new post on the 2011 First Spouse coins on Mint News Blog. Has the Mint given any indication as to maximum mintage levels for this year?
I have an inquiry in with the Mint on that. Will post details as soon as I receive them.
