Remaining Individual Half-Ounce, Quarter-Ounce, Tenth-Ounce Coins, and Four-Coin Set Selling Rapidly
Washington - The United States Mint reported today that only
limited quantities of 2003 American Eagle Gold Proof Coins
remain available as the holiday shopping season moves toward
its peak. The remaining individual options - the one-half
ounce, one-quarter ounce and one-tenth ounce coins - and the
four-coin set, are selling at a rapid pace and are expected
to sell out in the near future.
The maximum mintage of 8,000 individual one-ounce American Eagle
Gold Proof Coins sold out on July 6, 2003, which was only
seven weeks after they went on sale, making the one-ounce American
Eagle Gold Proof Coin now available only as part of the remaining
American Eagle Gold Proof Four-Coin Set. The maximum mintage of
750,000 one-ounce American Eagle Silver Proof Coins sold out on
November 10, 2003.
