US Mint Product Schedule Update for September
For the second time in two weeks, the US Mint has updated its 2009 Product Schedule.
Last week the schedule was revised to include dates for August offerings. Thursday the Mint provided specific dates for collector coin and set releases through to September.
Captivatingly within the new schedule are several coin products the Mint has mentioned but not yet fully described:
- 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Proof Set
- United States Mint Braille Education Set
- United States Mint Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set

US Mint Coin Sales: Proof Sets Dominate, Silver Eagles Reach Record
Proof sets could hardly perform better for the US Mint and bullion silver eagles continue to flash forward at a striking pace. The numbers do the talking...
-
In a single week, 37,232 more Mint Proof Sets sets were sold, bringing the total to 888,329 since June 1.
-
As of July 17, collectors purchased an arresting 350,572 Silver Proof Sets with 79,200 added in a week.
-
And to top it off, American Eagle Silver bullion coins sprung past 16 million for the year and 2,585,000 for a yet to be completed July -- already registering the second best month and continuing at a record-setting yearly pace.
Other US Mint coin sales were less brag worthy. Ultra High Relief $20 Gold coin demand was nearly unchanged. 865 more were sold compared to the prior 868. Better numbers should kick in next week as a result of the Mint's coin limit unleashing on Monday.
