Mint Stats: Bullion coin shifts reflect availability issue

Sales of "W" uncirculated American Eagle gold coins jumped this week. The same thing will likely happen to the "W" uncirculated platinum pieces next week as they have gone back on sale. At the very least, the numbers will start growing again.

The Jefferson First Day Cover is almost sold out, but didn't quite make it to 50,000 this week.

The Legacy set roughly doubled the sales figure from last week, but with a limited mintage of 50,000, the 13,245 number probably means sales are a bit slow.

It is time to start thinking about when the Mint will run out of 2007-dated bullion coins.
