Proof Gold Eagle Four Coin Set Sold Out

The 2010 American Gold Eagle Four Coin Proof Set has now sold out at the United States Mint. The last reported sales were 33,027 sets compared to a product limit of 39,000.

The 2010 Proof Gold Eagles first went on sale at the United States Mint on October 7, 2010. Right out of the gate, the pace of sales was swift, with opening sales figures for each product option 3 to 5 times greater than the debut figures for the last available Proof Gold Eagles.

The individual one ounce option was the first to sell out on November 1, after the US Mint recorded sales equal to the product limit of 25,000. The individual one-half ounce option sold out on December 22. The last reported sales were 10,166 compared to an announced product limit of 15,000 coins.

Although these two individual options were sold out, the coins continued to be available through the Four Coin Set. With the latest sell out, this is no longer the case.

The only two options remaining for sale are the individual one-quarter ounce and one-tenth ounce coins. Following the last two sell outs, it's likely that these were not produced to the full product limit, meaning a sell out could occur at any time.
