On a hunch, since a ladybug landed on me, and it's my B-Day, I went to the largest bank in town (Abilene, TX), and asked for the new Lincolns. The teller looked to his left and his right, and he asked me how many did I want. My heart raced, and I tried to play it off coolly, and asked him "how many do you have?" He looked into his till, shook his head, and said that he did not have any more. One of the other teller's mentioned that there may be some in the back. He came back with a BOX! Oh man, JACKPOT! They were all CIRCULATED! He took the box back, and said that he found six rolls on the counter in back, and of course I grabbed them! He said that they could not request new boxes, and they get what they get, an occasional new roll ever now and then. To make a long story, not so long, they are out there, you just gotta keep looking and asking for 'em.

By the way they were all Denver mint.

success,

They are in VA also. I recently purchased 60 rolls from my bank. I have left a business card with them and they call me whenever anything new comes in. They also just got the Puerto rico quarters also. I purchased $350 worth of those. I love my bank. I cracked one roll open for my personal album and stuck the other 49 from that roll back in circulation.
