US Mint Sales: Wilson Medal Tops Week, Gold Eagle Prices Lower

The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Silver Medal debuted as the top U.S. Mint sales performer last week with over 10,500 units sold since its March 19 release at $164. This closely trails previous new issues such as the William H. Taft medal which launched at a significantly lower price point. Early sales figures for these Presidential silver medals often fluctuate in initial reporting periods before stabilizing. Proof Gold Eagle sales remain robust, with the 2026-W issues among the top sellers despite recent price reductions from launch levels (e.g., 1 oz. down from $685 to $665). Notably, the 1/10 oz. Gold Eagle remains sold out, signaling sustained investor demand for smaller sizes. Meanwhile, sales of the highly sought after 2026-W Proof Silver Eagle total nearly 300,000, though the coin has seen minimal gains recently, reflecting supply constraints. Overall, numismatic sales momentum is rising as 74 products registered weekly increases, with no product gaining over 1,000 units last week but a broad-based uptick evident across the portfolio of 635 offerings. The ongoing strong sales for premium Mint products in both gold and silver categories underscore continued collector and investor interest despite price adjustments. Market participants should monitor availability and pricing trends for proof bullion coins as key signals of retail demand and potential secondary market price support.
