The U.S. Mint’s Revolutionary War quarter surged past the Mayflower Compact quarter in the week ending April 5, with sales rising by 132,200 coins to 2,153,640. The earlier leader also gained, reaching 2,070,860 coins, but it no longer held the top spot in the Mint’s Semiquincentennial quarter lineup.
The jump was driven mostly by Revolutionary War quarter two-roll sets, which increased by 1,615 units and ranked as the Mint’s top weekly seller. The quarter’s rise came as the Mint published sales data for 642 numismatic products covering March 30 to April 5, and the report showed the first week without a price cut for the dual-dated 1776 ~ 2026 issues after three straight weekly reductions.
That week marked a shift in momentum. The Mint’s latest report showed only one product with a gain of more than 1,000 units, while 14 products posted week-over-week declines, a sign that sales cooled after several stronger weeks. The Semiquincentennial-themed rollout had been moving quickly since the March 5 launch of the 1776 ~ 2026 dual-dated issues, and the latest numbers suggest the early rush is starting to level off.
The Mayflower Compact quarter had been the first Semiquincentennial quarter to reach 2,070,860 sales, but its products were listed as currently unavailable in the latest report. That left the Revolutionary War quarter with a cleaner run at the top, and its two-roll sets were the main reason it got there.
Gold pieces tied to the same 1776 ~ 2026-W Proof American Gold Eagle lineup also stayed in focus. Three of the Mint’s five products were available, while the 1/2-ounce and 1/10-ounce versions remained unavailable. Total sales for the lineup reached 33,444 coins, putting it 10,374 ahead of last year’s issues and 5,244 short of the 2024 total. The $10 quarter-ounce proof gold eagle ranked as the lineup’s second-strongest seller, behind the Mint’s top weekly performer in the quarter program.
For now, the numbers point to a market that is still buying the semiquincentennial coins, but not with the same speed it showed earlier in the rollout. The Revolutionary War quarter is now the one setting the pace, and the question is no longer whether interest exists. It is how long the Mint can keep that momentum from fading.
