US Mint Sales: Revolutionary Quarter Overtakes Mayflower

U.S. Mint numismatic demand was led by the new 1776~2026 Revolutionary War quarter, which jumped 132,200 in the latest week to 2,153,640 coins and overtook the Mayflower Compact quarter series. The Mint also said 1776~2026 Proof American Gold Eagle sales remain firm, with total 2026-W Proof Gold Eagle sales reaching 33,444 coins, up 10,374 versus last year’s comparable issues but still 5,244 below 2024. Within the gold Eagle line, the 1/4-oz $10 coin was the strongest weekly mover, rising 410 to 4,005, while the 1-oz $50 coin added 310 to 4,034. The 1/10-oz coin remains the biggest volume seller at 7,778 total, and the four-coin proof set climbed to 3,920. Several products remain unavailable, including the 1/2-oz and 1/10-oz options, which underscores continued product scarcity even as the Mint’s early launch promotions wind down. For traders, the data is more of a retail sentiment check than a direct bullion demand signal, but it still suggests healthy U.S. collector appetite for gold Eagles and silver products. The broader Mint dashboard showed sales momentum slowing: only one product added more than 1,000 units versus three the prior week, and 14 products posted declines, including the 2026-W Proof Silver Eagle and the Wonder Woman silver medal. Near-term watchpoints are whether gold Eagle sales keep outperforming 2025 comparables and whether the slowdown in weekly increments persists into the next Mint report.
