Don't worry, I used my botnet to prevent their botnet from viewing CCF posts; even through Google!  |

I think this would be an excellent time for the mint to offer these first to their longtime subscription customers. Such as ME!

It certainly didn't' sell out as fast as I'd hoped it would ! That took "at least" several months to sell out, if I remember correctly. But the Lincoln Set will only have a 50,000 production limit !..... that's the key piece of info right there ! With this kind of material specifically......I believe that's only happened a couple of times in Mint history where they've minted so few of these. Edited by eaglefoot

Do not be shocked if they figure out this is going to be a popular product and work to get authorization to increase the mintage on this set, even if it means increasing the limits to the individual coins. For all we know, they reason why they have not issued this set yet may be that they are waiting for approval to increase mintage. They know when they have a moneymaker and you know there is at least one government bean counter that has had this idea! Still, it does not bother me since I want the set for the contents, not for the limited release!  |

Probably right before I can get logged into there web site.   It took me about 2 hours with the LP2 so I hate to see this set. Edited by Brucec

jbuck, Speak of a great idea for the Mint this just might be the reason for all of the "silence" about the release date. I am sure there are at least some people at the Mint who feel the notion that this set will be a "Hot item", this just might come to fruition. While I was on the phone last with a Mint rep, I asked her what She would suggest doing to order a set, Phone or online, she states" either way it will be crazy ". I like I am sure many other's here at CCF, have the silver Dollar and the proof sets, but I sure would like to have one of these Historic, limited, collector's sets  . Also can you imagine how many sets HSN will get and I can already hear the speech about how rare the set is and can't imagine how much they will sell the set for and with just 4-flex payments... |

MorgansDad.....We know that they have thousands of the Proof Lincoln Silver Dollars... and we know that they have 20,000 Proof Sets containing the proof Cents....(just so far this year)(you can bet that they'll order "even more" Proof Sets I'm quite sure) So..... METHINKS THEY WILL BE BUILDING THEIR OWN "SPECIAL LINCOLN SETS" !! ...  ....  But, I predict that the HSN guys will get around a thousand of these "Official" Sets though.....and they'll "sell them while they're hot".......and then they'll put together their own "Set" very similar to this, a couple years from now.....like so many other "coin companies" do. |

Methinks you hit that one right on the nail, eagle-eye!
They'll get a special case made with Lincoln's picture on the outside,
and the four Proof Cents surrounding the Proof Silver Dollar inside.
Their set may be 'faux' (non-OGP), but the coins inside are of high interest to collectors, and their inevitable hyperbole about high collector interest in the coins will be true enough....

Yep !...  Their Set may very well include 8 "P" & "D" 2009 Lincolns AND the 4 "S" Mint 2009 Proofs....plus the Lincoln Silver Dollar !.....( plus maybe the 2008 - to show the "historic change" and then they might include a new, as of yet unknown design, 2010 Cent when that comes out !) OMG ! ...Actually......that sounds like a neat little Set ! ..... .. Edited by eaglefoot

hopefully the cents in this lincoln cent/dollar set the mints releasing will be matte proofs or some other special variety to add to the multitude of different cents this year.
