I just sent you a PM, eaglefoot. I have one each of the 2010 Cents (P&D), 2×2'ed and ready to send you! I'll be getting the Mint rolls too.... |

I wonder if it will be the same cost as the 2009 rolls... even though they aren't copper like last year

Coretj the 2009 cents from the mint in the mint wrapped rolls to my understanding were not copper- regular composition. The only copper cents that were produced were in the proof sets, uncirculated sets, and the Lincoln Chronicles sets.
I do think I read somewhere or heard somewhere that the mint has already stopped making 2010 cents and the total mintage for 2010 cents will be in the 150 million range total. That would of course work out to roughly one cent for every two people. Not a total rarity by any stretch of the imagination if true, but certainly a harder to find coin in great shape over the long haul. I'll probably order two sets just to have them preserved for posterity and hopefully the quality will be decent.

coretj, the 2009 Cents in the Mint rolls are zinc business strike coins. The LP1 (Log Cabin) Mint rolls are the 'key', because the Mint underestimated the market's demand, didn't produce enough, and they sold out quickly. The LP2, LP3 and LP4 Mint rolls are 'common', as they were made in greater quantities to meet market demand. Some collectors search the LP2 rolls (in particular) for errors. LP3 and LP4 Mint rolls are still available, at the time of this post.

The mintage figures for 2010 business strike Cents are here.Jan.-Feb. 2010 figures show 128.8 million Denver Cents and 149.23 million Philadelphia Cents. 278.03 million, combined. (a more intriguing figure on that chart is the 19 million 2010-P Dimes!) Zinc Cents have a far faster attrition rate in circulation than the old copper Cents, so the percentages of nice survivors found in circulation are much lower than for copper Cents. |

I called the mint today and they would not let me put the rolls on my subscription. We will all be redialing on the 8th. Some have said that the mint will make plenty of these but given that the LP3 and LP4 are still available does anyone think that the mint will cut production?
How many sets will you get?

I think they'll make over 500,000 sets because these won't be superceded by a new design every 3 months like last year.

Yeah, I think so too....and plus, they won't miss an opportunity like the LP1 again.

"0" 2010 Nickels
"0" 2010 Dimes
"0" 2010 Quarters
And Philadelphia has minted :
"0" 2010 Nickels
"0" 2010 Quarters

For some of you who like to or had been collecting/buying BU rolls of modern day coins, I think this is the best source (only after CCF members). http://www.mikescoins.com/ same as http://myworld.ebay.com/oldesaratogacoin/I'd bought rolls of 2009 Lincoln Cent from him. His pricing and shipping is very reasonable. I bought 2 of each (16 rolls total for both mints) from him in December for $60 + $5 shipping, which is cheaper than any other online seller that I had found. So I am coming back to get another set and some 2009 P Presidency rolls. I am not trying to promote this guy (get nothing out of it), I just want to share my experiences with fellow members that looking to buy same things as me. I don't know what's going on with other buyers (regarding the negative feed back on ebay), so make sure you do your "diligent research" and email to ask questions before commit large money. Now I am on my quest to have one roll of each P/D LMC. |
