It was a mixed bag for the latest batch of US Mint coin sales. For most memorable, Lincoln Formative Years cents reached a new milestone with over 300,000 of the two-roll sets sold. As a side not, the Mint stopped selling the penny rolls prior to the launch of the Illinois cent launch this week.
Also standing high were UHR $20 gold coin figures. Another 2,750 were purchased by collectors. The Mint’s removal of the one-coin order limit has helped sales greatly. Nearly 80,000 of the special gold coins have now been sold.
