Lincoln, Braille & UHR Sales Figures – April 23
Ultra High Relief (UHR) $20 gold coin sales were near identical to those reported last week, based on the latest round of US Mint sales figures. Another 1,300 have been sold, bringing the new total to 58,318.
In a surprise, Louis Braille Silver Dollars broke a declining trend that had become the norm over the last several weeks. While sales increases were held to around 12% in the prior week, proof Braille's jumped to 20 percent. The uncirculated options climbed to 16 percent. In total, 93,166 Braille commemorative silver coins have been sold.
For the third consecutive week, Lincoln Silver Dollars and Lincoln Birthplace cent rolls figures have remained unchanged. Each reached sellouts weeks ago.

2009 Lincoln Cent Formative Years Rolls Set for Release
The United States Mint on Tuesday officially announced the release date for two-roll sets of the newly designed Lincoln Cent Formative Years -- the second of four pennies to launch in 2009.
The set is priced at $8.95, plus $4.95 for shipping and handling, and will be available at noon ET on Thursday, May 14. There is an order limit of five sets per household.
Like the Lincoln Log Cabin rolls released March 13, the latest offering will includes a roll of 50 coins from Denver with the "D" mintmark and another roll from Philadelphia, where the coins do not carry mintmarks.
