Lincoln Formative Years Rolls Back on Sale
Following nearly a two week hiatus, two-roll sets of the second redesigned 2009 Lincoln Formative Years Cent, also known as the Rail Splitter penny, went back on sale at the US Mint.
The set with 50 coins from Philadelphia and 50 coins from Denver was first offered May 14 for $8.95 each. Prior to the Aug. 13 launch of the third Lincoln Professional Life Cent, the US Mint listed the Formative Years rolls as sold out and placed them on its "No Longer Available" page.
At the time, the latest Mint sales report had shown 300,246 of the two-roll sets were sold. A week later, the total was revised lower to 300,000, resulting in speculation that the Mint may cap sales of the third and fourth penny rolls at the same level.
