<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1315249, member: 19423&quot;]To answer your question, the 2009 Ultra High Relief never did sell out.&nbsp; It was available until the end of the year when the Mint finally suspended sales.&nbsp; The Mint actually melted around 85,000 of the already struck, but unsold examples after sales were suspended.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2009 Lincoln Coin &amp; Chronicles Set was limited to 50,000 and it sold out in 3 or 4 days.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ATB pucks were much more like the UHR than these silver eagle sets.&nbsp; Both the UHR and the ATB pucks were new issues never before offered by the Mint.&nbsp; Both were highly demanded at first, but after awhile collectors seemed to lose interest in the ATB pucks.&nbsp; Same story with the UHR, highly demanded at first, then it sort of died down and only in the last year or so has the interest in the UHR really come back and caused a huge spike in prices.\</p><p><br /></p><p>The 25th Anniversary Silver Eagle Sets are different.&nbsp; Here, the Mint is issuing coins which to a collector base which has been growing for 25 years.&nbsp; It is not the introduction of a new series, but instead an anniversary set of one of the most collected series in all of numismatics.&nbsp; That is why they were able to sell 100,000 sets so quickly and that is why they&#039;ll never trade for melt like many of the ATB pucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
