copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 1:21 pm I attended the 200th Anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth in his Kentucky hometown of Hodgenville this morning. The Mint was making available to the public a limited number ($5 maximum) of cents. I saw Nelrak's post; I guess you could go through the line multiple times, but I got my 10 rolls and got out of there! Here are some photos. (Note: the roll I opened had mostly pieces with spots, which seems to unfortunately be a chronic problem with new Lincolns). http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/...02120025.jpg http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/...02120028.jpg http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/...02120024.jpg http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/...02120022.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 1:33 pm Gotta admit--the reverse looks better struck than as a drawing. What a cool keepsake from Lincoln's bicentennial event! Report this Post to the Staff

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 1:36 pm Don't know if anyone saw the front page of the most recent Coin World; it indicates there that it could be some time before they are released because the Fed banks and commerce in general currently have a glut of cents. No room for the new ones! Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 1:39 pm I wonder if the Mint will offer "two roll Sets" of them ? Of course, I'd rather get them for face value from my Bank than do that !! Report this Post to the Staff
Texas collector Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 1:39 pm Oh well, I guess I'll get them sooner or later. Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 1:41 pm And will the official "Uncirculated 2009 Mint Cent" be EVEN BETTER STRUCK THAN THE BUSINESS STRIKES ?......(should be right ?) Can't wait to see those too !... Edited by eaglefoot 02/12/2009 1:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
