If you are a seller, then it's a great way to make money. If I had gotten some, I would probably have rolls up on ebay but I live in Louisiana and can't  I hope to have some coming soon but it' up to the banks. |

Some people on coin community did get some though. Look for the older post from today. Like here: https://goccf.com/t/42528 for instance. Edited by chris1222nascar

New penny? they are making a new penny? That is the response that I have gotten from every bank in my area. I spent 4 1/2 hours driving to the all yesterday and that was my response at every one of them. I would have called them, but since I do not have a house phone it would have really put a dent in my minutes. Some day I will have one. My wife did however manage to get 2 of the proof Lincoln halves ordered for me  . I have the best wife in the world. Yeap I do have a great wife. She got me the 2 whole Commemorative Lincoln dollars instead of 2 halves  I don't why I was thinking they halves. Edited by Tim Stroud

jbuck, he said "Lincoln Halves", the 2009 Commemorative is NOT a half dollar, it is a whole dollar.

The 2009 Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Silver Dollars are now on sale! These commemorative coins celebrate the life and legacy of one of America's greatest leaders. The obverse bears an image of President Lincoln, while the reverse features the immortal words Lincoln spoke at Gettysburg—the last 43 words of his most famous speech—inscribed within a laurel wreath. The Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Silver Dollar is available in silver, and is offered in both proof and uncirculated conditions.

LOL jbuck. My wife tells me that I am very LITERAL. So when I read "Lincoln Halves", the last Lincoln Half I can remember is from 1918. If I were to assume he meant the 2009 Lincoln Dollars and he didn't, someone would say, "But he said LINCOLN HALVES."

So true! But I freely admit, my brain did not see where he said "halves" until you pointed it out! What is even funnier is that he said it and then you quoted it, but I still missed it! Tim, can you set the record straight for us? |

Great Britain is releasing a penny commemorating an American president?!?!?  This is un"president"ed. Or do you mean the new 2009 Lincoln Cent? I have heard of those... |
