Women’s Suffrage Coins Top Sales

The highlight of the week is the addition of some new Mint products to our charts, most of which honor women.

Because the Mint had released small additional quantities of the 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof silver American Eagle, you will see that line item listed under the “Collector Eagle Sales” category at the bottom of this page.

This week marks our first recording of sales for the 2020 Women’s Suffrage Centennial commemorative coins. The silver dollar, in proof and uncirculated versions, was issued for sale on Aug. 18, as was a coin and medal set.

These three products were the highest sellers this week with the proof dollar being the clear frontrunner.

Just over a week of sales brought the total of the proof dollar to 11,264 and the uncirculated dollar to 5,543. The medal set, consisting of a proof silver dollar and silver medal, came in at 7,796.

Another new item this week is the 2020 First Spouse gold coin honoring Barbara Bush. Since its Aug. 20 on-sale date, the 1/2-ounce gold proof version is at 1,406, while the 1/2-ounce gold uncirculated coin lagged behind a bit at 946.

Viewpoint: PNG warns bullion buyers of risks

Editor’s Note: The following is a warning issued by the Professional Numismatists Guild. Following the recent fraud charges filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission against a California gold seller, a trade group composed of veteran precious metals experts is urging investors to take three important steps before making any purchases of gold, silver or platinum ​bullion ​coins or ingots. “To avoid paying too much when you buy or receiving too little when you sell, and to avoid potential scams, investors absolutely must know the credentials of the bullion dealer, not just what the dealer may tout on TV advertisements or with a fancy website,” cautioned Barry Stuppler of Woodland Hills, California, President of the nonprofit Professional Numismatists Guild ( www.PNGdealers.org ). “If you don’t know gold, you’d better know your gold dealer,” Stuppler emphasized. The Temecula, California-based Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) was founded in 1955. Two years ago, PNG establ...
