Gold Numismatic Coins from US Mint had Promising Week

In the past week, the sales of gold numismatic products increased in the US. The products are those released by the United States Mint. One of the reasons for this is the drop in gold prices in the past few days. Following this, the price of numismatic gold coins was brought down to the equivalent of $100 for each ounce of gold content. The new prices are one of the lowest that gold coins have hit in the recent past. This has driven many to invest in the precious metal. The increase in sales of coins made from gold was higher than that from other precious metals. This was recorded almost across the board.

They are - one ounce, one-tenth ounce, one-half ounce and one-quarter ounce. A jump in weekly sale by 2,116 was noticed for the one-quarter ounce option. The 2011 American Eagle Gold Proof Coin also comes as a four coin set. This rose by 1,300, which took the total sales of the product to 16,202.

Across the Board Increase for First Spouse Gold Coins

Another gold numismatic product that saw an encouraging week was First Spouse Gold Coins. It recorded a jump of 460 coins. The rise was seen across all the options that accompany the First Spouse Gold Coins. This is much higher than the 197 increase that was noticed the week before, for the same product range. Uncirculated and proof versions of the coins are produced by the US Mint. A few other products that increased across the board were America the Beautiful Quarter 3 Coin Set.
