The US Mint launched the Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set on Thursday, Oct. 15 at noon Eastern Time, and all 50,000 sets were purchased by Friday evening, less than 30 hours later. Collectors still hoping to buy the set can place themselves on the Mint’s waiting list, in case older orders are canceled.
In other news, 2009 US Mint Sets kept trucking full speed, while Presidential Dollar Proof Sets, 2009 Silver Proof Sets, and 2009 Proof Sets slowed down.
Eleven days after its release, the 2009 Mint Sets almost reached the 400K mark. With sets priced at $27.95 each, the translation into revenue means the Mint took in nearly $11 million dollars. The Proof Sets, on the other hand, kind of spoiled the party this week. Presidential Dollar Proof Sets and 2009 Silver Proof Sets sales numbers retreated below last week’s report, and the Mint lost over $500K of revenue.
Demand for other collector coins and sets were mixed. Seven out of ten First Spouse gold coins saw higher gains than last week, while four out of five Lincoln products showed lower gains. The UHR gold coins were close to the same.

The latest US Mint sales figures ending September 27 showed most collector product sales down. The major exception, and certainly the biggest surprise, was jump that the uncirculated 2009 Presidential Dollar Sets made.
The collector product that declined the most was the 2009 US Mint Proof Set, which only increased 25,794 compared to last week’s 42,077. The reason for the drop? The US Mint’s Fall catalog may have accounted for the several weekly spikes, and sales could simply be normalizing again.

For a fourth straight week, Ultra-High Relief $20 gold coins experienced decent gains. Numbers may shoot even higher with the US Mint announcement this week that UHR coin limits will rise again on Monday, and for the second straight month. Collectors and coin dealers will be able to purchase up to 25 coins, up from the previous 10-coin limit. That should drive stronger sales for at least several more weeks. 82,959 UHRS have been sold as of Aug. 23.
Formative Years penny sales were halted right before the Aug. 13 launch of the Lincoln Professional Life cents in Springfield, Illinois.
