US Mint Sales: Revolutionary War Quarters Vanish in a Flash

U.S. Mint numismatic demand is running hot, with 2026 Revolutionary War quarter products taking the top three weekly sales spots and the new rolls/bags disappearing soon after launch. The two-roll set led with 9,863 sold, while 100-coin bags from Philadelphia and Denver sold 6,165 and 6,159 respectively; combined Revolutionary War quarter sales reached 2,021,440 coins, nearly doubling the debut volume seen in the earlier Mayflower Compact release. Mayflower Compact quarter products also saw another step-up, with reported sales jumping to 2,070,100 coins versus an initial 1,015,420, despite unchanged Mint-stated limits. On the precious-metals side, 1776–2026-W Proof American Gold Eagles remain among the Mint’s top sellers, helped by repeated price cuts since launch: the 1 oz coin fell from $685 to $615, while the full four-coin set has sold 3,762 units. The 1/2 oz and 1/10 oz versions are still intermittently unavailable, suggesting strong collector demand even as pricing eases. For traders, the read-through is mainly on retail physical/numismatic appetite rather than wholesale bullion flows. The data support continued interest in U.S. Mint gold products, but this is not a direct signal for bar and coin investment demand in the wider market. Near term, watch whether the limited availability on smaller Proof Gold Eagle denominations persists and whether the Mint continues to adjust prices lower to sustain sell-through.
