<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 820671, member: 18157&quot;]WOW!! Anna Harrision Unc sales were strong again this week! ...but not strong enough, I&#039;m afraid.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As of February 23th...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3448 Unc (up 118)</p><p>6150 Proof (up 29)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We now need &quot;average&quot; weekly sales of <b>388 Uncs</b> and <b>652 Proofs</b> to catch Louisa Adams! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This assumes that sales will end on 12 March 2010. By law, First Spouse coins can only be sold for 52 weeks. Since sales of the Anna Harrision coin began 5 March 2009, I would think they would end near that same date in 2010. The Van Buren coins stayed on sale for what seemed like an extra week...which is why I pick 12 March 2010 as the ending date for the Anna Harrision coins. The Jackson proof ended three (3) weeks early...so who knows?! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:rolling:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There&#039;s a &quot;chance&quot; that the Mint prices might drop another bracket next week if gold prices remain soft. That might bode well for Anna Harrison sales if they stay on sale through 12 March 2010. If they run out of the coins &quot;on hand&quot; early, it&#039;s not likely they will make more in the last week (I suspect that&#039;s why they ended the Jackson proof three weeks early).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Once Anna Harrison ends, who will beat her??</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Tyler sisters are much more beautiful coins than the ugly Anna Harrison, but their sales are awfully low. On top of that, they end within six (6) weeks of each other...not twelve (12) as is normal. That&#039;s because 2009 had six (6) coins issued instead of the normal five (5). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With everyone saving their FS funds for the fourth (and final) Liberty coin (James Buchanan), the <b>Julia and Letitia Tyler</b> coins will likely pass Anna Harrison as the <b>new KEYs</b> to the series!! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once the Mary Todd Lincoln coins come out, I suspect there will a renewed interest in the series (for a time) and sales will go back up. All the Lincoln-philes will have to have a set...which will look nice along side the Lincoln Coins &amp; Chronicles set. I wouldn&#039;t be surprised to see after-market prices for some of the earlier issues start to rise...as newcomers to the series try to catch up. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These are wonderful times to be a First Spouse collector!!! :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
