US Mint Ends Puerto Rico Quarter Sales in Bags and Rolls
US Mint sales of Puerto Rico quarters in bags and rolls ended Tuesday with the release of the Guam quarters.
Impressive tallies from the latest US Mint sales report show that 37,295 of the 100-coin bags, 2,000 of the 1,000-coin bags and 41,699 of the two-roll sets were sold.
Puerto Rico quarter sales surged when news spread of their relative scarcity compared to other modern quarters. Registering lows that have not been seen in over 40 years, the 2009-P has a mintage of just 53.2 million and the 2009-D has a mintage of 86 million.
The Mint's quarter-dollar products were launched on March 30. In a week's time, the 1,000-coin bags sold out. Then the 100-coin (P) bag sold out late last week with 20,000 purchased by collectors.
