The Philadelphia 250-coin bags of Washington dollars are outselling the Denver, but then the roles reverse when an examination is made of the 25-coin rolls. Perhaps it is just a one-week anomaly in the data. Last week sales were more even.
Only the 2006 quarter-ounce proof platinum American Eagle remains on sale. Sales of the half-ounce proof have now ended.
Washington state quarters have gone on sale in bag and roll quantities. Opening purchases seem strong in the first week, equaling more than 50 percent of the total sales of Montana already.
