Hollywood Pillar of the Community United States 1228 Posts	Posted 04/02/2009 2:24 pm I just received this info in an e:mail from coin news.net my question is will there be less than 50,000 sets now ? Quote: First to the surprise. When the Lincoln Silver dollar availability date was announced, the US Mint said 50,000 of the proofs were allocated for a special five-coin set. In an eyebrow raiser, we learn that amount is likely to be substantially less. The law authorizing the bicentennial Lincolns permits a maximum mintage of 500,000. The latest US Mint figures show 465,614 Lincoln Silver dollars have already sold. Unless something gives, that leaves less than 35,000 for the special set. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/02/2009 3:05 pm Simple explanation- they oversold to account for returns and things like that. Some of those orders(15,000+) will not be filled. The exact same situation happened with the 2006 Eagle 20th Anniversary sets and unfortunately I was one of the oversells so I never got my three silver sets Report this Post to the Staff
