Coins of the product series are struck and issued by the U.S. Mint as part of its America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. The series debuted in 2010 and features five new quarters annually with each celebrating a different site of national interest. One site for the program was chosen from each state, the District of Columbia and the five U.S. territories.

Released Tuesday, Feb. 19, the three-coin set of Lowell quarters for Massachusetts includes uncirculated quarters from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints and a proof quarter from the San Francisco Mint. It posted six-day sales of 10,668 for the best start among series issues since 2016. As comparisons, the past ten releases opened with sales of:

  • 10,176 sets for Pictured Rocks in Michigan,
  • 10,508 sets for George Rogers Clark in Indiana,
  • 10,513 sets for Ellis Island in New Jersey,

Tomorrow, Friday March 1, the U.S. Mint will be giving away a free coin with the purchase of the annual clad Proof set. I don’t remember them giving away a free coin since 1996 with the free 1996-W Roosevelt dime in the annual Uncirculated Mint set.
