Although they were not the best selling products for the week from the United States Mint, the newest coins on the market honoring Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico made their debut, and their inaugural sales landed in the weekly top ten.

The Chaco Culture Five Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin is the second 2012-dated issue in the America the Beautiful coin series. It launched on Monday, July 9, and its opening sales reached 6,365 by Monday, July 16. The figure was slightly lower than the El Yunque strike that hit the market in late May with a six day opener of 6,514.
Also starting out a little slower than the previous issue were the new circulating quality San Francisco Mint Chaco Culture quarters. Like the El Yunque coins from California, the Chaco Culture strikes were created strictly for collectors, so they will not appear in circulation as those that are produced from Philadelphia and Denver.
Collectors bought 3,589 of the new 40-coin Chaco Culture quarter rolls and 3,413 of the 100-coin Chaco Culture quarter bags between Thursday, July 12, and Monday. That was less than the inaugural sales of the SF Mint El Yunque Quarters, when 5,800 of the 40-coin rolls and 3,827 of the 100-coin bags were purchased in late June.
