However, due to their late release and primarily local appeal, the coins did not sell very well, and many remained unsold by the end of the year. They continued to be sold for the following 16 years at the reduced price of $1.25 per coin, until the price was raised to $3 per coin in 1952. The supply of coins eventually was exhausted in the late 1950s. The coins were sold in plain cardboard holders that, similar to holders for the York County, Maine Tercentenary half dollar, contained slots for up to five coins. Orders of one or two coins were sealed in tissue paper and shipped in envelopes that were either imprinted "L.M. HANKS, FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, MADISON, WISC". or rubber-stamped "AFTER 10 DAYS RETURN TO STATE SUPERINTENDENT, STATE CAPITOL, MADISON, WISC." Like the coins, envelopes are collectibles.
