Is There A Reason?

That is exactly what I was going to say, they will always have face value, there is no way to tell if they will ever be worth more than that until we start seeing them sell

Well, the "shipping date being pushed back" has nothing whatsoever to do with the potential value of a coin or roll.
Secondly, when you say "mass produced".......well......if they've doubled the previous two roll set numbers.....that's 200,000+ sets. That's still only 10,000,000 coins, which if a coin only got that few minted it would indeed be a "modern rarity" !..(compared to the "BILLIONS" being the norm).....
Coin news has it at "20,000,000" coins and "400,000" total two roll sets.......same point.....same difference ! This "is" just "one" coin after all......(or two with "P" & "D")
Of course they've minted quite a few "bank rolls" as well for future circulation......but I'm just sayin'......
It's a little early for the "thumbs down" talk, and there's no reason to be negative on the LP1, LP2, LP3, or the LP4 just quite yet ! .....
Late next year and late in 2011 will be a good clear picture as to the value of these "two roll Sets" and the "bank rolls"......and the individual higher MS grade values.

And generally speaking.......did ANYONE really think they were going to mint "exactly" the same number of coins/Sets from the Philly Mint and the Denver Mint for each of the four different designs......I never did !
Besides......and to the larger point here....it seems as per normal to me for them to mint a bunch of one coin design, but fewer from one of the two mints for a particular design......then a whole bunch of the next one from both Mints.......then mint very few from both mints of the next design.....then a bunch again.......etc... etc...etc...etc...etc...etc.....vice-versa, vice-versa, vice-versa, vice-versa........so on and so on........ ......This is what the Mint has been doing for a LONG LONG LONG LONG TIME NOW ! Nothing new here at all with the output of and mechanics of these mintage numbers .....

I was trying to say something like that with this sentence from up above.... ...had it a bit wrong there......but thanks for clarifying ! ...

I am almost 100% certain that there are not 20,000,000 MS-64 or above 2000-D Lincolns left and the number is going down every day.

Whereby you have millions and millions of the 2009 lincolns that will always be in their blankets. Want a bicentennial quarter? - hee hee.

Future value? Think about it.

I feel like we've beaten around this bush before.




First of all, you know that isn't all that will be minted. But even so, 20 million uncirculated coins being preserved in the hands of collectors is not a rarity no matter how you spin it.

The vast majority of most coins minted in other years are destroyed by circulation.

Nonetheless, I'm glad I (theoretically) have my rolls coming my direction.

I predict ANY roll for 2009 BU one cent coins will be worth AT LEAST $100.00 in the year 2050. Will I be alive then? I hope not!

I hope the mint doesn't up production too much!
