A Lincoln commemorative sellout seems possible with the numbers rising by a combined 100,000 this week. Another jump of that magnitude next week and there will be few left outside of the projected special set.
Sales of the new four-coin 2009 Lincoln cent proof set leaped past the 100,000 mark in its second week of sales, reaching 101,758.
It is a good thing that sales numbers for the second 2009 Lincoln cent roll set are available this week, because otherwise things are kind of summertime sleepy – and the calendar says it is not even summer yet.
The Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set arrives this week with a sellout number of 51,000. That’s 1,000 over the maximum allowed, but not to worry. That will be whittled back to the 50,000 by the time all credit card and other problems are worked through.
A number of asterisks went up this week where you might not expect them to appear. The McKinley 100-coin dollar bags are now marked as no longer available as are the same size bag for Taft.
Less than 70,000 Lincoln silver $1 commemorative coins are still available before the maximum mintage of 450,00 is reached.
Lincoln commemorative dollar sales are up from last week.
At first blush, it would seem that sales of Boy Scout commemorative silver dollars and their Disabled Veterans counterparts were going their separate ways.
There is more space to write in this week because the list of mintages of last year’s proof and uncirculated gold, silver and platinum collector versions of the American Eagle coinage and the proof and uncirculated gold collector versions of the Buffalo coinage have been removed.
The third in the sequence of two-roll Lincoln cent sets has made its debut and the second one has gone off sale.
