2009 Lincoln products received lots of attention last week. The Oct. 15 release of the Lincoln Coin & Chronicles Set no doubt is mostly responsible, since all 50,000 sets sold out in under 30 hours.
The Lincoln Cent Proof Sets must've been riding on the Chronicles Set coattails. Almost 11,000 sold in one week, something that hasn't happened to the Cent Proof Set in over a month.
The US Mint Set is still humming strong. 74,474 sold since the last report, and if demand remains strong, then it will easily reach the 500K milestone next week.
The following table includes the latest US Mint sales figures for sets and products that include a 2009 Lincoln Cent:
