Quote:HSN, CSN, (Coin Shoppe, etc. etc) Have people combing and searching
ebay and also send many many many may "contacts" and/or "associates" who attend the events to purchase these Lincolns for "the company".
I saw "Coin Shoppe" last night.....they were selling a slabbed MS grade Lincoln (LP1 design) for $49.95 ! That's right !
Just ONE INDIVIDUAL COIN ! ......(Don't know whether I'm angry or just stunned and shocked)
They were saying how hard these were to get, but that they were "procuring" large amounts of them right now, and would soon have them available to "the public" in "sealed rolls".
I can not imagine the "price gouging" they'll get away with......nor the tens of thousands who fall all over themselves TO PAY IT !
These guys would push their own Mother down for a chance to "procure" large supplies of these Lincolns, so they can make their money ! ...
Can you imagine just how many Proof Sets Home Shopping Network, CSN, Coin Shoppe, etc., etc., will be buying so they can crack them open to get at this "PROOF" Lincoln ? .......
Can you just imagine what kind of prices they're going to try to sell the 95% Copper Proof Lincolns for ...........HOLY MACKERAL !
THEY ARE GOING TO BE "PARTING OUT" PROOF SETS AND SILVER PROOF SETS LIKE CRAZY PEOPLE ! THEY WILL PUT FORTH THE EFFORT LIKE NEVER BEFORE TO TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS "LINCOLN HYPE" !There's going to be a pile of discarded plastic O.G.P. holders outside of the HSN building and Coin Shoppe buildings the size of Pikes Peak ! 
....
They're going to be working feverishly like Santa's little elves crackin' those Proof Sets to get at those Proof Cents ! .......(individually these coins will bring MUCH more than the "complete Proof Set" I'm sure.....least ways.....the way "they" do business !)
This is where the phrase......."
It'll be worth the sum of it's parts" that has been thrown around when talking about the complete 4 design 2009 Lincoln two roll sets vs. individual two roll Sets,
WILL NOT BE THE CASE ! ....... In other words....YOU WILL GET MUCH MUCH MORE MONEY BY "PARTING OUT" YOUR PROOF SET OR YOUR SILVER PROOF SET, OR YOUR UNCIRCULATED SET, THAN YOU WOULD FOR SELLING "JUST THE SET".......(this is also a long standing rule)
