Did anyone get the new 2009 Lincoln Penny yet?

Welcome to the Forum CC. The reason why everone is asking how did you get a roll Certified is that most of us have never seen that before. Did you get some kind of LOA with these rolls?

Welcome to the Forum too KJWalton, don't take it personal but coming on this site and talking about anything on HSN will cause a firestorm almost as much as calling a cent a penny:headbang:

I second that!!!!

ICG certified rolls even before PCGS did. They both started back in 2007 when the President dollars came out.

 

I was on Ebay today and they are selling the set from HSN for up to $144.00 a set.

 

I've got a DC quarter, so that means they're in circulation.

Is it a good/bad deal? It's up to you.

Is it a bad/good deal? It's up to you. I'm a dedicated Lincoln cent collector and I will not pay it because as you'all know. "I hate slabs" - god I love saying that so much and you'all certainly give me many opportunities to say it! Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!!!!
What I will get is boxes of them and then I will pick my usually 150 gem coins out of each 2500 box and sell the rest in tubes are rolls or take them back to the bank and turn in for face value.
It don't worry me even one little bit that we will not see any - demand is to great and demand equals availability either this month, next month or whatever they will be here on this oak desk.
I have seen rolls graded before though a few times on Buffalo's, and Mercury's - they were in pocket type pages sealed and by the early ANACS I think. It is rare though as I have only ever seen it about three times and as you may imagine very expensive.
You can buy whatever you want but to justify it by saying this coin would cost XXX graded or I get two free gradings, I don't matter like you think because your still getting a dollar or two of common cents for "how much"? This is a perfect example of the value system in coins being "thought of without logic" as I have pointed out so many times before. We assume that the plastic ABCD boys will "carry the day" or in this case make something common into something more valuable just because of perception that plastic ABCD boys equals "a better coin" - it does not especially in modern coinage. The very fact that they have "jumped on this" so soon is that there is a very gullible nature of us all. If they were really rare and hard to get would they even have them first? and second would they be offering them to us so readily??
Back to my dealers (only thirty or so and myself) and I - none of us will buy these at this price because none of our customers will pay it for them no matter what piece of plastic they are in - it will be too easy just getting them for a few cents each in the long run.
Does not this very thing happen with all new issues especially design changes on popular coins??? - we have seen this time and time again and there is nothing new under the sun so spend it if it makes you happy but don't think for a minute it's any guarantee of future collector values because it is not.

 

Mint to sell rolls of zinc composition cents

I copied this from Sue Headley's website/blog - posted by her today, 2/25:


"The U.S. Mint has confirmed that it will definitely sell the circulation-quality rolls of pennies on its Web site soon (and not through theDirect Ship Program, either.) The official I spoke to couldn't give me a time frame for the onset of these sales, but it will definitely happen, probably within the next couple of weeks. The price hasn't been determined yet, but I think it's a real sure bet that it will be quite a bit less than $20 a roll!"

So...the Mint will be selling rolls of the zinc cents.

 

Got an e-mail saying they're on the way. As for the two set's of initials, one for the designer, one for the engraver. They should be listed on the COA.

 

in 2 weeks

I was told that in 2 weeks from today 2 of my banks would have them they ordered some from somewhere not sure.... We'll see fingers crossed

I have 10 individual coins from the KY release on it's way, going into some airtites...mainly b/c i just like the look in the capsules...got a nice deal considering the prices of the full rolls...i paid 10 bucks for 10 coins including shipping...can have photos soon if wanted...

 

How many here have yet to see a 2009 lincoln cent of any kind?

 

Pass

OOOHH...HSN.....I'll pass.......

 

Got one in change last week at the Waffle House.

 

Whatever happened to this? (I presume by "circulation-qualify rolls" they mean "not the fancy-mint-wrapper rolls")?

 

This refers to the mint wrapped rolls that were for sale and are now sold out.

"Circulation quality" refers to the condition of the coins, not the wrapper.
The two other coins conditions that the mint sells are "proof" and "satin finish" (mint set) coins.

 

NOT I ! Albany NY

 

no way at this moment. but will never like to have one.

 

got two, one at taco bell...

 

I got 4 2009D's in change at the local gas station (Cape Girardeau, MO) today. From what I could see, the cent section of the drawer was full of 'em.
