U.S. Mint customers placed enough orders to exhaust the 20,000-coin edition of privy-marked Proof 2022-P Negro Leagues Baseball commemorative silver dollars, though, unlike other recent limited-edition Mint products, not on the first day of sales.

The Mint’s Jan. 9 sales report for the program records that 19,992 of the coins were sold, putting the coin into “Currently Unavailable” status. According to the Mint, 8,960 of the privy-marked Proof silver dollars were sold on the first day of pre-sales, Jan. 6.

Interested collectors likely will not have a second opportunity to place orders for the coin, unless reconciliation of orders and cancellations returns a significant number of the coins to Mint inventory.

The commemorative coin program celebrates the 100th anniversary in 2020 of the founding of the Negro Baseball Leagues.

The program’s silver dollar features an obverse design of a baseball pitcher in full windup on the mound. On the privy-marked version of the dollar coin, the number 100 superimposed over the shape of a baseball diamond is located in the field below the pitcher’s right knee.

The enabling act for the commemorative coin program, Public Law 116-209, authorizes the production and release in Proof and Uncirculated versions, combined, across all product options, of up to 50,000 $5 gold coins, 400,000 silver dollars and 750,000 copper-nickel clad half dollars.
