Based on the latest data, the United States Mint enjoyed several days of robust coin sales even though several products experienced temporary suspensions due to rising costs of precious metals.

Their debut sales were released by the US Mint this week.80 of the Mint's collector products outperformed their previous weekly gains compared to just 20 in the last report. At the top of the US Mint sales chart were the debuting Vicksburg quarters. They were followed by the 2011 Proof Silver Eagle, the 2011 Proof Set, and the 9/11 Silver Medal from West Point.
For the second week in a row, a debuting product stole the spotlight from the 2011 Proof Silver Eagles, which had held the top spot for nearly two months. This time, the most popular numismatic item was the Vicksburg quarters two-roll set. An impressive 18,719 sold, while the 100-coin bags racked up 2,457 and 2,379 in inaugural sales for the Philadelphia and Denver bags, respectively. The Vicksburg quarters products launched on Monday, August 29.
The 2011 Proof Silver Eagles were still in high demand though. Another 8,944 were purchased, bringing their new sales total up to 735,865. In the prior week, before the Mint raised the Silver Eagle's price, 10,593 were taken.
Also debuting on the charts were the Lucy Hayes First Spouse Gold Coins. Collectors, who pounced on their opportunity to buy them on the first day, September 1, were the lucky ones, because the all of the First Spouse coins were suspended the next day. When sales resumed on Wednesday, their prices rose by $50 each. The lucky buyers scooped up 1,265 of the proofs and 857 of the uncirculated.
As for bullion sales, they practically came to a standstill compared to the booming activity during August. The American Silver Eagles rose by 133,000 and the one ounce Gold Eagle added 3,000 since the last report. The remaining fractional Gold Eagles, 24-karat American Buffalo, and five ounce America the Beautiful coins were all silent.
