I was trying to do some research and did not find any threads in the past that discussed the topic. My question is of the series of new Lincoln's LP1-LP5, which would one want to hoard for potential value in the future if any and which mint? And if I over looked the thread
I apologize. Thanks for any input.

I have a couple rolls of each (Philly only) stashed away, but they're so common that I doubt they'll ever be worth more than face/melt. If I had to guess, I'd think LP4 and LP1 (just Philadelphia though) have the best potential due to the lower mintages.

Of the Business strikes.....I'd say any one of these in true BU problem free condition would be a "future value" keeper. Otherwise, I don't know if there will really be a whole lot of attention in differentiating the value between LP1-LP5 at any time in the near future. The mintage numbers on any of them are not really low enough to warrant a focus on a particular one, I don't believe. But whatever the future value would/could be.....I would think, in this case, that it would be "CONDITION" rather than a "low mintage" consideration, given the issues with the spotting of Zincolns. |

The LP4 has the lowest mintage last I checked. However, there's huge numbers of these hoarded in BU state. I don't think we'll ever seen any decent appreciation ever. Collect them because you like them, not because you think you'll be rich from them someday.

2009 Dimes/ nickels... thats what you should hoard. people basically ignored these because of the new cents... Collectors have figured this out, but not the general public.

LP4 P for bank rolls. LP1 for mint sealed white boxes.

LP-4 P seem to be the ones to save,low mintage.

All of the business strikes had mintages large enough that you will not see a real premium for decades(you can still purchase BU 1950s wheat rolls for a few dollars as an example). I am not saying don't save them, I have a number of rolls myself, but do not look at them as an investment or you will be sorely disappointed.
Eaglefoot hit the mark though, I think the copper Lincolns in the 2009 Mint Set will be the real winners with mintages of less than one million.

If you have them put them into 2x2's and you can sell them at flea markets for $.50 each at least.

Ummm...stupid question I guess,but 2009 they made 4 different designs...LP1- LP4...what the heck is a LP5? Are you calling the 2010 design LP5? The 2010 cent is not part of the Lincoln bicentennial series...is it? I thought it was seperate.

The US Mint lists the catalog number for the 2010 P&D Lincoln roll set as LP5

Here in WA, I have found mostly LP1 and a few LP2. Mintage numbers for LP4 are less than half of all of the other variations.

I totally agree with BADTHAD on this topic. He hit the nail on the head.
