US Mint Sales & Products: What's Hot and What's Not (NYC Style)

A breakdown of the latest US Mint sales data, product trends, and the buzz around new releases like the Comic Art Coin & Medal Program. Get the inside scoop!

Yo, what's the deal with the US Mint, its sales, and all those shiny products? Let's break it down, New York style. From commemorative coins to silver eagles, we're diving deep into what's trending and what's flopping.

Sales Slowdown: What Happened?

Word on the street is that the Mint's five-week hot streak of product sales is over. The week ending June 22nd saw a drop in the number of products showing week-over-week gains – 53, compared to almost double that in previous weeks. Blame it on the lack of fresh drops and maybe a little buyer fatigue. Even the Dr. Vera Rubin quarters took a hit.

Army Silver Eagle: A Flash in the Pan?

Remember the 250th Anniversary Army Silver Eagle? That thing sold out in like, three and a half hours after pre-sale opened. But sales are now at 74,847. Still a solid number, but maybe not as crazy as it seemed at first. We're waiting on the Mint to drop the full numbers, including those bulk purchases.

Top Sellers: Who's on Top?

The Mint released sales data for a whopping 562 numismatic products. Only one product saw gains of over 1,000 units, which is kinda weak compared to earlier weeks. Check the tables below for a full rundown of what's moving and what's not.

Comic Art Coin & Medal Program: Super or Nah?

Now, this is interesting. The Mint's teaming up with DC Comics for a multi-year Comic Art Coin & Medal Program, kicking it off with Superman. We're talking silver medals and gold coins featuring the Man of Steel. You can even subscribe to get the 1-ounce silver medal automatically. Pretty cool, right? Pre-sales start July 24th, so mark your calendars.

My Two Cents

While the slowdown in sales might seem like a bummer, the US Mint is still trying new things, like the Comic Art program. It's kinda smart. Comic books are popular, and coins are cool, so why not combine them? If you're into collecting, it might be worth checking out. But remember, just because it's shiny doesn't mean it's gold.

The Bottom Line

So, there you have it. The US Mint's sales are a bit of a mixed bag right now. Some things are hot, some are not. But hey, that's life, right? Keep your eyes peeled for those new releases, and maybe you'll find the next big thing to add to your collection. Peace out!
