Starting sales numbers for the 2012 Alice Paul and the Suffrage Movement Gold Coins landed in fifth and seventh place among the most popular coin collecting products from the U.S. Mint.
2012 Proof Alice Paul Suffragist Gold Coin
Collectors took in 1,808 proof and 1,394 uncirculated Alice Paul coins within the first five days.
These gold coins are the first releases for 2012 in the First Spouse coin series and twenty-second overall going back to the start of the program that began in 2007. Their unique design and late launch in October may have led to extra demand from buyers, because initial sales were higher than the starting sales for each one of the prior issues that launched in 2011. Here are some of their opening numbers for comparison.
- 2011 Eliza Johnson 1,331 proof and 777 uncirculated
- 2011 Julia Grant 1,581 proof and 1,017 uncirculated
- 2011 Lucy Hayes 1,265 proof and 857 uncirculated
- 2011 Lucretia Garfield 1,478 proof and 874 uncirculated
- 2012 Alice Paul 1,808 proof and 1,394 uncirculated
