Lincoln Silver Dollars Break 335,000 in US Mint Sales – Mar 5

2009 Lincoln Silver Dollars are heading for a sellout. 335,051 have already sold since Feb. 12 and nearly 100,000 were picked up by collectors since last week's numbers.

A total mintage of 500,000 is authorized between the proof and uncirculated Lincoln coins. Additionally, tens of thousands are likely set aside for a special set the Mint has listed, but not yet described. Considering these factors and the current selling pace, the Mint could potentially stop individual sales as early as next week.

Lincoln dollars led the pack, but demand for all Mint silver coins increased as well. As always, the Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set came in strong with a 2.8 percent increase. The set contains a 2008-dated American Eagle silver and each 2008 Presidential $1 coin for $37.95. Over 53,000 have been sold.

Here are the latest US Mint silver coin sales figures:
