The U.S. Mint has publicly offered coins and medals for sale since the mid-19th century.
.
The U.S. Mint has been issuing fixed price lists since at least 1859, when a set of **GOLD ** proof “master-coins” (face value $41.50) was offered at $43.00.

@1630Boston ... Thanks for the interesting post and link. I wish the Mint still worked on such a percentage profit 'to defray costs'. Cheers, RickO
