The latest data from the United States Mint reveals a minor dip in buying activity for numismatic products from the previous week. However, several items still demonstrated solid growth. While the release of the Army Bronze Medal last week may have attracted attention to other products, specific sales figures for bronze items remain undisclosed, as the Mint does not publish these numbers.
