I placed a call to the call center and asked a few questions about the LINCOLN Comm - silver dollar on sale tomorrow at noon EST, I found out that per house hold 100- silver dollars is the limit. I also found out that the special LINCOLN Comm- proof silver dollar and the 4-different proof cents will be offered in spring( no date as of yet ) and the limit you can order per house hold is 5-sets,these sets will have the same alloy mixture as in the original alloy mixture of 1909, and the same "old style " coins will be in the Uncirculated sets, and the proof sets. I also found out that the call center will be open on Sunday to take orders also. below is some information I found on the U S Mint's site: Reverse inscriptions will continue to include "United States of America," "E Pluribus Unum" and "One Cent." And the four 2009 Abraham Lincoln one-cent coins will maintain the same metal content (2.5% copper, balance zinc) and other specifications as the current one-cent coin. These coins will be issued for circulation in quantities to meet the demands of commerce. In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury shall mint and issue numismatic one-cent coins in 2009 with the exact metallic content as contained in the 1909 one-cent coin (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc). These numismatic versions will be included in the United States Mint's annual product offerings.

How fast will the silvers commems sell out? Anybody here willing to do a co-op to buy an extra? Do they sell out fast enough that it is necessary?
If so - let me know and I'll get an extra if I can get it at 12.

Personally I don't think they will sell out although it is Lincoln. the last modern Commem to reach 500,000 I believe was The marine Corp Anniversary 2005 The special set containing the 4 pennies at a limit of 50,000 is a different story, that will probably sell out on day 1

I am in Hodgenville on the bleachers listening to the presentation right now! There is a 10 roll limit but I was told you can go through the line several times but there is about 300 people here. They have some nice literature they gave out. I am taking photos and will share later.
