Art Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 According to CoinWorld : 1- The Mint is going to have problems distributing the new Lincoln cents because the pipeline is already full of cents and few new orders are being placed. 2- A special set will be issued with the Lincoln Dollar and all four cents where the cents will be struck in copper at the same composition as the original 1909 cents. Sets will be limited to something like 50,000. Perhaps March timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBobo Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Ooh. I like. I wonder how much it'd cost Maybe one dollar and four cents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 So does that mean the 2009 Lincoln cents will be rarer than originally thought? Maybe these things will be worth 2 cents in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I thought the copper cents were also to be included in the silver proof set, though I am not sure where I heard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I just checked ebay for these....$500+ dollars for a box of 50 rolls ($25 face). Holy! I wonder if the these people will realize they are making hundreds of millions of these coins...and then implode...? Haha, I'll wait until I get mine at the bank for $0.50.

Can one even pickup up a roll of just the new cents? I thought the Lincoln cents were mixed in with older coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Can one even pickup up a roll of just the new cents? I thought the Lincoln cents were mixed in with older coins. I used to be able to just ask for a roll of new coins at a bank. However lately they do come all mixed up from the banks. What I'd like to know is where do stores get their rolls from. I've seen people in stores open rolls and all are new. Same at restaurants. Someone knows something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think it depends on the store. At a place I used to work we got a change delivery twice a week from a local armored car company. Lots of new coins rolled in those clear plastic tubes.

just carl Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 With all those new Lincoln Cents I think I'll just wait until they are being sold on TV and all painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 The local banks are spewing forth their 2008 lincolns on us at the store, I'm sure all the local branches will have them in a few weeks. Or as Carl said, you can pay only 29.95 for the "gold" "platinum" "silver" "colorized" or "very limited supplies, etc" from the TV people. Hah.

Burks Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Has anyone in the east seen these yet? My dad checked his bank, that normally gets all the new coins in right away, and they said the mint is keeping most of them to the western part of the country. Anyone confirm this? I've been trying to get a roll of them but have come up short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The word around here is that there are too many coins, so no one is ordering any new coins from the Fed, no territory quarters and no cents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 i havn't asked for the new cents, becaue I can't the Native American dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdesk Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I asked for the new pennies in the bank a couple of weeks ago and was told that so many people are turning in rolls of pennies that they don't have to order new ones from the feds---just another byproduct of a bad economy, I guess. I'm in the Mid West. My husband wanted one so bad I finally bought one on eBay for 99 cents with free shipping. When you add up all his costs, he's not making much. So I was glad to have the opportunity to give my husband a cheap thrill. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 As with all coins that are overdone, I suspect that in a few years the prices of all the 2009 Lincoln coins will dropping dramatically. Every time someone advertises anything excessively, people run out and hoard, hoard, hoard. After a while everyone knows this and the values go down, down, down. I am going to just wait, wait and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vfox Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I got 2 09-D's today from my dealer. The P's are not even released to the banks yet, and the fed won't even quote a price, it's amusing. But not to worry, in a few months hundreds of millions will be storming through our pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalk64 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 One of the rumors floating around here is the mere fact the U.S. Mint got wind of all the fools bidding $20 to $40 per roll on Ebay Pre-sell Auctions for the 2009 Lincoln Cents. Ebay rules require pre-sales must be shipped within a specific amount of time so the Mint is making absolutely certain that does NOT happen. As we all know the U.S. Mint is notorious for trying to control the secondary market on THEIR coins (thats the way they see it) so if there is more money to be made the MINT wants to be in on it. If you think I am kidding just wait and see if those precious 2009 Lincoln business strikes aren't offered up by the mint in the next few weeks. Getting them for a measly $2 to $4 per roll, plus shipping of course, is going to kill those Ebay sellers and all the "I got to have them now no matter what the cost" bidders. The Mint is going to make certain a shock is coming for those who jumped the gun! Like it or not the folks who run the mint are in it for the MONEY just as everyone else is and a huge opportunity has NOW presented itself. You want 2009 Lincoln cents? The Mint is going to take care of you-----for a price of course. Me, well I want a few rolls but....which devil do I buy them from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn235 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'd love to get my hands on a roll of uncirculated P's and D's of all four designs, but I'm collecting as a very loooong term investment. Buy at face value so my great-great-grandchildren can sell them for hundreds of times that much. While people are hoarding up all the new pennies, I'll sit here quietly gathering the memorial pennies as everyone is dumping them on the banks. I'm sure that we will be so flooded with them by 2011 that nobody will even bother with them anymore. The same thing happened with those Westward Journey nickels a few years ago.

Burks Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 The same thing happened with those Westward Journey nickels a few years ago. I religiously check all my change I get back (and my girlfriend's since we save all of it).....I come across one of those once in a blue moon. Come to think of it, I haven't seen one yet this year. After going through about $200 in change, not one came up. We did get two silver quarters (62 and 64) and several wheat cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 At my banks they are saying that they are not shipping anything new into District 7, so I can just forget about getting any 2009 coins. Not that I care anyway. These recent mint products are just garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
