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. Silver Eagles jumped 1,075,000.
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.
The Martin Van Buren First Spouse coins are now being reported by the Mint. In their first week 2,845 proof and 1,603 uncirculated coins were sold.
Rolls and bags of Martin Van Buren Presidential dollar coins were to go on sale Nov. 13. This is the fourth and final design of 2008.
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.
A ceremonial pour of 2,000 Martin Van Buren Presidential dollars Dec. 5 at the Kinderhook, N.Y., Cemetery marked the 226th birthday of the nation’s eighth President and the ceremonial introduction of the latest design in the Presidential $1 coin series.
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.
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.
