Comment

The 2009 Abraham Lincoln Silver Dollar was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the 16th President of the United States. During the year, the United States Mint also would issue a series of four different reverse designs for the 2009 Lincoln Cents, which represented different stages of Lincoln’s life. As part of the commemorative coin program, a special product was created which incorporated both the silver dollar and newly designed cents.

The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Silver Dollar went on sale February 12, 2009, to coincide with the exact 200th anniversary of his birth. Proof and uncirculated versions of the coin were produced at the Philadelphia Mint with an overall maximum production of 500,000 coins. The US Mint sold out of the 450,000 coins allocated to individual coin sales after approximately one month.

Later in the year on October 15, 2009, the US Mint offered the Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set. This special set contained the proof version of the 2009 Lincoln Silver Dollar, all four proof 2009 Lincoln Cents, a reproduction of the Gettysburg Address in Lincoln’s handwriting, and a reproduction of a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. The sets were limited to 50,000 units and carried an ordering limit of one set per household. The sets were extremely popular with collectors and sold out after only a few days.
