2011 US Mint Proof Set
Thanks to the 22,346 purchases, this year's US Mint Proof Sets sales reached 1,020,572 after having been available since January 11, 2011.

It happened during the week ending Sunday, December 12, 2010.
The 2011 US Mint Uncirculated Set, that has been on sale since February 8, is approaching the 500,000 marker. Collectors picked up 8,681 of them during the week, but 5,166 more sales are needed to reach a half million. Its total ended at 494,834 in this report.
Per the Last Opportunity notice, the deadline to order this year's commemorative coins is coming Friday, December 16, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
