Lincoln Silver Dollars Surge in Mint Sales Stats – Feb 26

2009 Lincoln Silver Dollars continue to make a splash in the United States Mint sales stats. Their blistering pace eclipses other commemorative silver coins.

Compared to the last reported stats, Lincoln Silver Dollar proof and uncirculated coins surged 37 percent and 23.6 percent, respectively. (For product and purchase details, follow Lincoln Silver Coins.)

In contrast, sales of Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Sets and Mint Silver Proof Sets declined — perhaps due to the popularity of the Lincoln’s.

Unusual this week is the lack of any movement with the 50 State Quarter Silver Proof Sets. The Mint still offers the 5-coin set for $25.95. It seems unlikely that zero sold given 1,329 were in the last report.
