| US Mint Sales: 2011 Commemorative Coins Rally in Finish |
| |
 U.S. Mint image showing several of the 2011 commemorative coins which went off sale Friday The newest United States Mint sales figures show that 2011 commemorative coins enjoyed a mini-rally during their final days as did nearly every Presidential $1 coin product. With those excluded, however, overall product sales remained a bit soft like they were this time last year. Both years the Mint has imposed Christmas shipping deadlines of December 12. That tends to drive selling volumes earlier in the month with resulting sluggishness right before the holiday. Another type of deadline hit this year's commemorative coins celebrating the U.S. Army and Medal of Honor. On Friday, December 16, the Mint stopped selling them after 5 PM ET to keep in line with mandates that permit their issuance only in calendar year 2011. |
