The 2010-dated America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins sold out. Several other items in the latest US Mint product sales figures report jumped out as well. 2010 Proof Silver Eaglessold out also, yet their sales figures were unchanged since the last report.

The Proof Silver Eagles have been listed on the US Mint website as sold out since Tuesday, December 28. The total for Proof Silver Eagles remained at 834,879 for a second week. The US Mint has not yet clarified if the sales figures will rise.

Proof American Gold Buffalo coins surprisingly advanced 1,002. Normally, of late, a few hundred Proof Buffalo coins would sell in a single week.

As for bullion Silver Eagles, their numbers also did not change. December's total remained at 1,772,000, which made it the slowest month for all of 2010. Even September's tally was higher, at 1,880,000. Still, the year-to-date total of 34,662,500 made 2010 the best year for the bullion coins since they debuted in 1986. Final December and 2010 figures should be available in early January.

All 2010 America the Beautiful Silver Bullions Coins have been sold by the US Mint to its Authorized Purchasers. [Read SilverCoinsToday.com article: AP's order all 2010 ATB Silver Bullion Coins.] The 165,000 bullion coins, split across each of the five coin designs by 33,000, will gradually enter the secondary market in the coming weeks. January 3, 2011, appears to be the date most of the Authorized Purchasers plan on selling the coins directly to the public.

In the numismatic gold market, only two fractional 2010 Proof American Gold Eagles remained available. The individual one-half ounce Gold Eagle sold out last week, but their latest sales figures show the half-ounce gold coins at 10,166 which was only higher by 35. Originally, the US Mint had said the product limit would be 15,000. Still, only the one-quarter ounce proof, the one-tenth ounce proof, and the Four-Coin Set are for sale. Their most recent totals were 8,115, 18,725, and 33,027 respectively.

Items with negative sales were the Mary Lincoln First Spouse gold uncirculated coins, all three Mount Hood quarter bags and rolls options, and both Abraham Lincoln Presidential dollar roll sets. What makes the negative adjustment unusual was the fact that each item was fairly new. The oldest item, the Mount Hood Quarters, launched on November 15.

Sets were not as popular in this round as they had been. The best seller, the 2010 Mint Proof Set, gained 10,481 versus 18,403 previously. The 2010 Silver Proof Set also eased by climbing 7,768 compared to 9,480. And the Uncirculated Set softened. It advanced 4,611 after gaining 8,418 in the last round.

The 2010 Abraham Lincoln Presidential $1 Coin and First Spouse Medal Set debuted with 3,753. The Mint launched it on Thursday, December 23. Its inaugural sales did better than the James Buchanan set, which started at 2,080.

The first three columns of the table below provide weekly US Mint sales increases between the listed time periods, offering a sense of recent trends. The final column provides the latest US Mint sales totals as of Sunday, December 26, 2010. Bullion coin tables are found toward the bottom, with the most recent sales as of Thursday, December 30.
