Got in at 12:00 and the system indicated my order was number #7! Can't wait!
I've been in at the start before, but never got done this fast. The Dollar Lincoln took over an hour to complete. Kudos to the US MINT Webmaster!

Popped up on the screen. I've never seen that before! I also didn't get the BackOrdered notice either. I'm usually not this lucky. I've never been the right caller on the radio contests.

Always buy the coin! just a thought, Remember the rolls that were exchanged at the ceremony ( Feb 12 ) were just the H R STRING AND SON, coin rolls, that said, I too love the wrapper!!! Just not enough to cover the price tag that goes with it!!  |

My order was backordered until 3/20 also. I'm going to bust'em open and look for errors as soon as I get'em! Then I'll give some away at work to try to get a few collectors started!

Just ordered 3 Sets one hour late.....it said "Backordered" too of course. Me likes the wrapper too !...  .. .. ..  I'm not going to open up mine and loof for errors.....I'm gonna keep the rolls unopened and intact just as they are......at least for 20 or 30 years or so !! Of course we're paying a premium "for the wrapper" in this case right ?.....So, if I were to "open them"...  ..well.......I can look for errors from the ones I hope to get from the bank (if they get any) In this particular case.....I don't mind paying a little more than face value for "the holder" !! |

Still in the plastic it can sell for as much as $10. Remove it and all you got now is a 2000 1 cent piece worth a whole penny. |

Eaglefoot, speaks with some excellent insight, hold them and When the banks receive them, break them open, I too believe the coins we will receive from the Mint, in this wrapper will have a premium attached to them in time to come, so will the bank rolls, just not as much. To a collector things like this mean soooo much, Just my opinion... |
