Ln6: How Many Of You Already Have The Coins?

I already have the proof set, I only bought this new Chronicles set today to resell unless it turns out to be an S mint mark dollar coin. Then I might hang onto it.

I buy a proof set just about every year so I have the cents. I don't have any interest in any of the modern commemorative dollars, except for the one in my 7070. I bought 2 of the LN6 sets strictly for resale.

This poll surprised me a bit!

I would have thought that more repliers would have had a Silver or
Clad Proof Set (and thus, the Cents) by now.

I bought the 2009 Clad Proof Set (my first post-1991 Clad Proof Set)
at the time of its release, specifically to get the 95% Copper Proof Cents.

If the LN2 One Cent Proof Set had been available at that time,
I might have bought that Set instead.


I got the Proof Lincoln Dollar because I was concerned that I
might not be able to get the LN6 set at issue price! (this is why I
thought that more people would have had the Proof Dollar already!)

Does this mean that a large quantity of Proof Lincoln Dollars that
are currently not on the market will be offered for sale when their
owners get the LN6 set? (assuming, of course, that the Proof Dollar
in the LN6 Set is a "P")


Makes perfect sense! On Mint News Blog, there were a lot of reports
of people ordering the even more limited BR4 Braille Education Set
in conjunction with the LN6 Set.

However, given how slowly the Mint servers 'work' (I use this
term very loosely! ) when an 'in-demand item' is released,
I was not willing to try to add any other items to the cart for fear
that the LN6 would sell out while I was waiting for the cart to refresh!

I have every set available. Although I have been waiting for the Lincoln Coin and Chronicles set once it was announced earlier this year. This was the set I really wanted to obtain.

I've been wanting the LN6 Set since it was announced, of course.

Even back when it was first announced, it looked like a one-day sellout.
If the Mint servers had been faster, it sure would have been!
(I think that they received more than 50,000 orders for the set on Friday,
as it is, but some of them may not go through)

I already have two each(proof and MS) of the commem dollars but I do not have the proof Lincolns yet. However, when I ordered my C&C set, I also ordered a Silver Proof Set so I will get them all at once

The LN6 lincoln coin & chronicles are are a very nice set, and included in the set is a copy of the original Gettysburg address, corrections and all, plus Abe's
picture. wished I had more than I have, but can only look at one at a time.

The 2009 Clad Proof Set has easily set a new record for 'percentage of
Proof Sets broken up in their debut year'. When I gave these Sets as
gifts, I advised the recipients to keep them intact, for that reason.
The Mint's 'belated' release of the LN2 Set means that those
2009 Clad Proof Sets were broken up for 'nothing'...

At the big coin show last week, I was floored at how many loose
2009 Proof Cent lenses I saw. Literally over a thousand of them were
for sale, and that's at a single coin show in Denver. And each one was from a broken Proof Set!

The 'silver lining' is that few Silver Proof Sets were broken up
for the Cents, due to the higher price, later release date and the
announcement of the LN2 Set's eventual release, relatively soon after
the release of the 2009 Silver Proof Set.

My family recently broke up one of my 2009 Uncirculated Mint Sets
and took all of the sub-$1 coins for themselves. (fortunately, this
Set was not one of my two set-aside 'high-grade' Sets of those!)
Since the Satin Finish Native American dollars are unique to that Set,
I 2×2'ed those for myself, and that leaves me the Satin Finish Presidentials,
which are 'orphans' because they're also in the 2009 Presidential $1 Coin Uncirculated Set.

I was reimbursed $20 for the broken Set, which is more than fair,
because I was left with ten Satin Finish Dollars (which is $10 in
face value alone!) I'm undecided as to whether I should sell the
eight Presidentials on here, or use them in the car wash...
