Is There A Reason?

Well, the "shipping date being pushed back" has nothing whatsoever to do with the potential value of a coin or roll.
Secondly, when you say "mass produced".......well......if they've doubled the previous two roll set numbers.....that's 200,000+ sets. That's still only 10,000,000 coins, which if a coin only got that few minted it would indeed be a "modern rarity" !..(compared to the "BILLIONS" being the norm).....
Coin news has it at "20,000,000" coins and "400,000" total two roll sets.......same point.....same difference ! This "is" just "one" coin after all......(or two with "P" & "D")
Of course they've minted quite a few "bank rolls" as well for future circulation......but I'm just sayin'......
It's a little early for the "thumbs down" talk, and there's no reason to be negative on the LP1, LP2, LP3, or the LP4 just quite yet ! .....
Late next year and late in 2011 will be a good clear picture as to the value of these "two roll Sets" and the "bank rolls"......and the individual higher MS grade values.

And generally speaking.......did ANYONE really think they were going to mint "exactly" the same number of coins/Sets from the Philly Mint and the Denver Mint for each of the four different designs......I never did !
Besides......and to the larger point here....it seems as per normal to me for them to mint a bunch of one coin design, but fewer from one of the two mints for a particular design......then a whole bunch of the next one from both Mints.......then mint very few from both mints of the next design.....then a bunch again.......etc... etc...etc...etc...etc...etc.....vice-versa, vice-versa, vice-versa, vice-versa........so on and so on........ ......This is what the Mint has been doing for a LONG LONG LONG LONG TIME NOW ! Nothing new here at all with the output of and mechanics of these mintage numbers .....

I was trying to say something like that with this sentence from up above.... ...had it a bit wrong there......but thanks for clarifying ! ...

I am almost 100% certain that there are not 20,000,000 MS-64 or above 2000-D Lincolns left and the number is going down every day.

Whereby you have millions and millions of the 2009 lincolns that will always be in their blankets. Want a bicentennial quarter? - hee hee.

Future value? Think about it.

I feel like we've beaten around this bush before.




First of all, you know that isn't all that will be minted. But even so, 20 million uncirculated coins being preserved in the hands of collectors is not a rarity no matter how you spin it.

The vast majority of most coins minted in other years are destroyed by circulation.

Nonetheless, I'm glad I (theoretically) have my rolls coming my direction.

I predict ANY roll for 2009 BU one cent coins will be worth AT LEAST $100.00 in the year 2050. Will I be alive then? I hope not!

I hope the mint doesn't up production too much!

Actually it is going to be difficult to tell for awhile how many LP@ sets will be sold because once the announcement came out that there were already over 200,000 sets sold a lot of people saw their chances for flipping at obscene profits melting away and they started hitting the cancel button.

This is actually a good point that hasn't been brought up before.
With the current anomaly of no one (or at least most can't) being able to get their hands on rolls or boxes of these new Cents......how many people will NOT be "saving" these two roll Sets ?
How many "will" open them up to look for errors, etc. etc.
To assume that all of these will be preserved and "saved" ......well......since NOBODY CAN GET ANY FROM THEIR BANKS.....THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN GET THEM.......TWO ROLL SETS MIGHT BE GETTING TORN OPEN ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY !
I'm curious too about how many CCF members have opened their rolls and always intended to, looking for errors and mainly because of the inaccessibility to them in any other fashion.
