Today I’m looking at just how rough the US Mint sales numbers are right now—and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I go over the latest sales chatter (including the CoinNews write-up about 2026 Proof Gold Eagles still leading the pack), and I talk through what “abysmal” really means in practical terms: low demand, slow movement, and the inevitable question collectors start asking when product sits—does the Mint ever decide to melt unsold inventory? I’m not giving financial advice here, I’m just connecting the dots the way I see them and calling out the buzz. I also hit live spot prices by checking Money Metals, because none of this exists in a vacuum. When spot moves, the secondary market mood changes, and suddenly the same Mint product people ignored becomes “interesting” again. And yes—Woodrow Wilson Medal drop day. I point you right to the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Silver Medal page, plus a couple references so you can compare what the design is trying to do versus how medals like this show up in the collector ecosystem. Facts, speculation, and straight talk—then you decide what matters for your collection.
