I just thought I would ask if any-one else would be going to the second ceremony for the release of the, what I believe to be the nicest looking coin out of the 4, to be released. I wish I was at the 1st ceremony in Kentucky but could not attend. I do not know what will be available to purchase but I will try to do as what I see many did and that was load up on as many boxes as I can  ( if I can ) and also get them post marked at the Lincoln City, Post Office. Certainly to be a very Historic event and hope to enjoy the festivities, Mike..  |

I live about 100 miles away so I'm going to try and make it. I'm disabled and have to be in a wheelchair, but I'll do my best to get there..
Can anyone tell me what the procedure is? What time do they start?
How many rolls can one person get?
Any help is appreciated,
DRS

DRS, I think if things are anything like the 1st ceremony, you will have a limit on your "purchases" once the line for the coins has disappeared, leaving you( and people like me) and the U S Mint truck, with all those extra boxes of new coins for sale to anyone who has the cash to obtain them. I hope this is the way things will go as this is what I was told did happen. I do not know the activities nor the schedule for them, I di know that this ceremony will take place in the Lincoln State Park, Lincoln City, May 14th at 10am, I am sorry I do not know any more about this historic event and I hope you have a wonderful time and the weather plays nice for us all, bring lots if $$$$$$$$$, because if things are to turn out like the 1st ceremony, we will be offered the unique opportunity( I hope ) we will be able to obtain some boxes of this sweet looking coin, be well, Mike PS: I would also like to welcome you to this wonderful, knowledgeable, friendly site, enjoy the hobby! |

Morgans Dad.
I think the "general population" has caught on and I'm not so certain there are going to be boxes left over this time but who knows. It should at least be a day to remember!

Well I am not sure it will be worth going 700 miles out of my way and paying for an extra nine days of site fees but could just stay 3 nights and go back home but that would be around 1400 miles round trip just not sure it will be worth it.
Have to think on it more and make up my mind.

I was at the first one, but not well prepared! I will be at the second one VERY well prepared! ($$$$$$$)
About a full tank of gas for me round trip; well worth it.
