US Mint Coin Sales ReportAnother uninspiring week of numbers appear in the latest US Mint sales report as collectors wait for more 2010-dated offerings. There are a few highlights worth discussing, both good and bad.

The first batch of 2010 Kennedy Half Dollars numbers have been released. The 50c bags and rolls were launched on January 29. A total of 7,559 of the two-roll sets and 1,237 of the 200-coin bags were sold by January 31. Each product has respective prices of $32.95 and $130.95, and may be ordered directly from the United States Mint Web site.

First Spouse Coins took a big step back for a second week. 240 of the 24-karat gold coins were listed as purchased in the prior report. The latest weekly gains stand at a NEGATIVE 188. Two of the 2009 First Spouse Gold Coins were the major culprits. The Margaret Taylor Gold proof and uncirculated options were adjusted downward by 59 and 235, respectively. Usually such a change indicates a sizable return or accounting corrections.

Last week sales of the new 2010 Native American Dollars debuted. Their latest weekly gains were halved by comparison, but still relatively strong for the series. Collectors purchased another 4,005 of the 2010-P rolls and 4,059 of the 2010-D rolls. Respective totals are now at 12,338 and 12,505. For reference, the US Mint indicates that it sold 59,000 rolls of 2009-Ps and 53,732 rolls of 2009-Ds.

Finally, while total bullion sales in January, 2010 were exceptional -- especially for Silver Eagles, the last part of the month and the beginning of this one are not. In fact, ZERO Gold and Silver American Bullion Eagles were sold between last Wednesday and today. Precious metals prices sputtered last week, but are off to a healthier start this week. That should help sales going forward, if gold and silver prices stay steady or rise.

The following table lists US Mint sales stats. The first three columns provide weekly increases between the listed time periods, offering a sense of recent trends. The final column provides the latest totals for US Mint coin products as of Sunday, January 31, 2010.
