The general slowness of US Mint product sales continues for another week. Releases for 2011-dated products have been fewer this month and more of the 2010-dated products have sold out or are no longer available.
Last week, two more options for the 2010 First Spouse Gold Coins sold out. Now only four out of the eight options remain available for sale. The most recent sell outs were the Abigail Fillmore uncirculated coin, which saw sales adjusted downwards by 75 units, and the Jane Pierce uncirculated coin, which showed no reported change from the prior week. A large negative adjustment was made for the Buchanan's Liberty unicrculated coin, which still remains available for sale.
As the 2011 versions went on sale, the US Mint recently concluded sales of the 2010 Native American Dollar rolls and the 2010 Kennedy Half Dollar two roll sets and 200-coin bags. The last reported numbers for the 2010 Native American Dollar rolls were 39,230 and 38,886 for Philadelphia and Denver, respectively. This is a big drop from the last reported figures for the 2009 rolls, which were 59,000 and 53,732. The Kennedy Half Dollar products also experienced a drop compared to the previous year. The 2010 products have sales of 8,844 and 36,205 for the bags and rolls, respectively. This compares to 10,312 and 39,459 for the 2009 products.
There are a number of lines on this week's numismatic product report that show no change or large negative adjustments. If any revised figures are provided, this article will be updated to reflect the new numbers.

The US Mint just have too many products. We get dizzy just looking at the product release schedule. On top of that, the non-sense increase in the price of some products has turned many collectors off (including myself).
So mint sales are down? I wonder why? With the way sales are supposed to have set limits, such as First Spouse Series, how can it be when most are now supposed to have a combined sale of MS and PF of 15,000, how can so many 2010 items be sold out? No where does it say 7,500 MS and the same proof sales, but the mint has stopped sales on these randomly. Plus what happened to Mrs. Johnson? Was Andrew Johnson found not to be married or what is the reason for the one month delay on the sale of this coin? The sad truth is this is the only true BULLION coin any collector can allegedly buy from the mint, but now the US Mint is stopping sales early or simply not offering the rest of the series? What about dates on coins? Except for the emergency coins of 1964 through 1967, dates and mint marks are supposed to match the calendar year. Right, that is why we have 2010 5 ounce quarters with a face valeue of 25 cents planned for 2011 and who knows what will happen to the spouse series, the only true gold bullion coin available if released to the public in both ms and proof varieties. I used to buy plenty from the mint, but since 2008, my purchases have dropped to only Early Release time fram First Spouse, and now even these seem to no longer be available. BTW-Call the mint and they cannot or will not give any answer on the missing numbers of coins supposedly minted to reach the limits, or why are these coins no longer released in a timely manner.
