2 each of the clad proof and mint sets, 3 of the silver proof sets. I've been on this subscription set-up for a few years and this seems to be plenty for me. Have picked up 7 boxes of Philly mint 09 cents. Our local bank here in the Florida Panhandle as received more 09 Lincolns than I've heard of so far. Plan is to keep most of the boxes and send my friends (Eagle) and family uncircumcised rolls for their children and grandchildren.

I hope to end up with an uncirculated P & D set of all four 2009 reverses, which adds up to 8 coins.
I won't buy them. But I will trade. So far my Father-in-law got lucky with two rolls of P Lincoln Logs of which he gave me one roll. I have been gifted 6 singles either by somebody being nice or by winning a contest. 3 are P's and 3 are D's but I gave a D to my Father-in-Law so I have 55 Lincoln Logs of which 2 are D's the rest P's.
I figure I will maybe be able to make a set without paying anything.
This will be an interesting set to try and complete if you want one of every kind.
Isn't there going to be satin finish in mint cents as well?
Then there might be copper proofs? Are there zinc proofs too?
And of course, I will bet my bottom dollar that somehow there will be a famous error comes from this series that will be very valuable and the key to it all.
I have maybe 50 or 100 Lincoln cents since 1909 that I plan to hang onto all the way to my last days. I don't care for them as much as many others do.
I lost interest in them when they went zinc in 1982. They remind me of tiddly winks.

Spell check can be dangerous if you run on auto-pilot! I have ended up with some very "out of context" words in the past. |

Good to here Eagle...That darn spell checker. Maybe we can get this word listed as official terminology for the new Lincoln cents?

uncircumcised rolls for their children and grandchildren. AWESOME! Are these similar to shotgun wrapped rolls? But laugh with us homiegrubbs, not making fun of you! Oh now that is a riot. One of the funniest things I've seen here yet. Family heirlooms indeed! Might as well give them the boxes too. Imagine the surprised look on their faces when they open them.
