I remember watching that insanity take hold with the Log Cabin
release. I watched a case of them go for a grand. It was unreal.
When people were giving a ton of money still for a roll.
My son and his girlfriend ran an errand for her mother
to the local Walgreens and he received one in change.
He asked the teller if he could talk to the manager.
The teller asked if everything was O.K. Kind of worried.
He said everything was fine and explained to her that this
was one of the new Lincoln Cents. The manager came out
and My son asked her if she might have more of these Cents
in the back. She told him yes and he was welcome
to as many as he wanted. Ended up that she had a total of 11 rolls
He bought them all. He called me as soon as he got out of the store.
It was a very exciting night for him. When he returned home later
that night we cracked open a roll to check them out, He asked why don't we sell them on ebay?
I told him for $5.51 we have a great story and memory
to share. Why would you want to sell that?
It was fun.
Every one of the rolls are still in the safe with a note of how they were acquired.
He is not that much into coin collecting (Yet). Mostly Car, Trucks and Girls
He was just looking out for the old man who is a Coin Nut.
He thought the early post marking of a roll before the official release was very interesting.
And was very excited to see the 2010 Lincolns before the
Official release and before anyone else around here saw one. Now it has gone back into the safe.
With a note of how it all happened. And one day I might be able
to share it with my grand kids after my son settles down.
