US Mint 2012 Sets in Top Five Sales

by Coin Collecting News on July 13, 2012

United States Mint sales totals for two products surged again, at twice the rate of others among the top five sellers, and four out of the five were collector sets.

2012 Silver Proof Set

2012 Silver Proof Set

Leading the pack was the [now unavailable] 2012 San Francisco Proof Silver Eagle Two-Coin Set. Between last week’s report on Tuesday, July 3, and its deadline on Thursday afternoon, July 5, collectors ordered 33,951 more. That meant that the unaudited, raw total came to 251,302. The figure is expected to change as the orders are processed.

Top Five Bestsellers for the Week

  1. 2012-S American Silver Eagle Two Coin Set – up 33,951 to 251,302
  2. 2012 Proof Set – up 32,434 to 422,718
  3. 2012 Silver Proof Set – up 15,010 to 251,775
  4. 2012 Mint Set – up 14,412 to 243,319
  5. 2012 Proof Silver Eagle – up 13,709 to 489,265

Right behind the two-coin set was the 2012 Proof Set, which added 32,434 between Monday, July 2, and Monday, July 9. The set has been out since May 7, but it has been enjoying gains above 20K for the last three straight weeks.

The 2012 Silver Proof Set, the 2012 Mint Set, and the 2012 Proof Silver Eagles all shot up by more than 10K. They did not outperform their prior week’s increases, but their sales were still strong nonetheless. In next week’s report, the individual Silver Eagles from West Point are expected to top the 500K milestone. Their total in this round was 489,265.
