I have temporarily moved Sacagawea dollar roll and bag numbers off this page to make room for Van Buren dollars. Gold and silver bullion American Eagle numbers jumped again.
Van Buren roll and bag numbers are starting to come in. The problem is where to put them. Perhaps after the Mint’s Last Chance Sale there will be more room on this page.
Sacagawea $1 bags and rolls are back on the page. The number of tenth-ounce proof gold American Eagles jumped this week. The asterisk put on the total last week was an error. Other asterisks were added to the page this week.
More big jumps occurred in the proof American Eagle numbers and then they went off sale. The six-quarter clad proof set has been added to the page and 2001 Kennedy half dollar bags removed. More changes are coming.
With the addition of Jackson and Sac dollars, the denomination is crowding the rest of the page.
I have been saying nice things about the demand for Presidential dollar coins this year. This week I have to point out that minuses swept through the columns of roll and bag listings as if the inventory of an entire business had been returned to the Mint.
Sales of bags and rolls of Guam quarters hit the charts here with a bang. And these numbers were recorded before the news arrived that the Guam quarters now hold the position of scarcest of the three 2009 design
Will the government’s decision to strike no more Presidential dollars for circulation and restrict their mintages to the number purchased by collectors increase the number of bags and rolls that collectors buy? I don’t know the answer to that, but I expect the dollar listings on these pages will take on a little bit more importance as collectors follow the potential mintages.
A number of asterisks went up this week where you might not expect them to appear. The McKinley 100-coin dollar bags are now marked as no longer available as are the same size bag for Taft.
Washington and Adams dollars went off sale and off the page to make room for Lincoln commemorative dollars. Total mintage is 500,000.
