First Spouse Gold Coin Mintages

The First Spouse Gold Coin Program has seen mintage levels at both extremes of the spectrum. The first three issues of the series experienced intense demand resulting in quick sell outs at high mintage levels. Subsequent issues saw dwindling sales, resulting in the lowest gold coin mintages in decades.

The United States Mint has established maximum mintage levels for each release of the series prior to the start of sales. The level was set at 40,000 pieces for the first three years of the series, but lowered in subsequent years to align with sales trends. Initially, the U.S. Mint offered the coins for sale until the maximum authorized mintage was sold or for approximately one year. In later years of the series, delayed initial release dates made the schedule more erratic. At times, some issues remained available for sale for a period far in excess of one year.

During the course of the series, there have been a number of unexpected early sell outs, resulting from the U.S. Mint’s underestimation of quantities needed to fulfill demand for the entire sales cycle. These unexpected sell outs coupled with low mintage levels typically resulted in a boost in secondary market prices.

To date, the lowest final mintage for the series has occurred for the Uncirculated version of the 2011 Lucretia Garfield First Spouse Gold Coin with a final audited mintage of just 2,168 pieces. More recent issues have had lower last reported sales figures, although the final audited mintages are not yet confirmed.

The first table below presents final mintage figures provided by the United States Mint. The second table includes the last reported sales figures for issues where the Mint has not yet released the final mintages.
