COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 08/17/2009 2:11 pm After my order on the release date of the LP3; Order Date: 08/13/2009 at 12:37 AM The initial order stated that it was backordered until 8/18/09 I was OK with that, figuring they would need a transition week to get things going, then this morning this came; Quote: Greetings from the United States Mint.

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 08/17/2009 2:20 pm I'm not really suprised. I don't know why they bother putting dates on there that they are never going to meet. I hope these ones are not spotted like the LP1s and LP2s that I have seen thus far. MS 70s of these things will be tough to come by. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/17/2009 3:03 pm If they look anything like the rolls I picked up in Springfield, then a good number of them will have the planchet rinse spots With that said, I have found a few very nice clean examples in the two rolls I broke open. MS70 for any business strike is next to impossible to get, even MS69s can be darn tough. Report this Post to the Staff
timer Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 08/22/2009 3:35 pm Mine just arrived today...originally they had an estimated 8/29 ship date so they might be getting them out quicker than expected. I opened one set. They look about the same as the LP1's and 2's. Spotty and pretty marked up. Maybe a couple keepers in each roll. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 01:19 am People ask, Why do you order from the U S Mint when you say the coins are sub-par, spotted, gouged, heavy bag-marked, and always back ordered, not to mention the price gouges for these coins. I can only say I hope things get better, I truly think it might happen and some day ( hopefully soon ) I will receive coins that were like they were years ago, like they were supposed to be.......

COINAHOLIC Rest in Peace United States 1501 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 1:50 pm Well mine now says that they have been shipped...so I would guess about normal for a Government Entity. Lets see how long for the FedEx/USPS shuffle!? Report this Post to the Staff
WLhalves New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 4:43 pm I agree that the mint needs to improve on it's quality.As for the length of time I do not mind because I know that I will have them in hand. Also from the mint I am receiving both the P and Ds so that is a bonus. Edited by WLhalves 08/23/2009 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
