2009 Lincoln commemorative silver dollar

So, a newbie question here -- if you get a Lincoln Proof with flaws, is it worth more as an error coin?

I agree with you 100% Elaine. I prefer to grade my own modern coins, and there is no better way to keep them than just like they came from the US Mint. Learning to grade and pick out a coin is most of the enjoyment, not just having it, plus there are many knowledgable good people here that would be glad to help if anyone needs.

 

Got mine today..Nice

 

Read some stuff on the Lincolns commemorative. For what it is worth, the sales figures so far indicate the following as of march the 5th

Proofs.......... 232,902
uncirculated...102,149

This does not include the 50,000 which are reserved for the 5 pc set which will make a brief appearance when it is put on sale

 

I decided to order a proof earlier this week, the more I look at it the more I like it, especially the reverse, still undecided on the 3/4 profile on the obverse.

Just to add to this thread. I was recently thrust into coin collecting by an inheritance that I recieved and I bought one uncirculated and one proof. I do not know if that helps with how the population might go on these, but the population seems low so far. Do you think the mint will still keep printing these after the 30 days? Will they keep mintage low or just keep printing because they are making money?

 

You can still buy a gun in the mail , I thought they ended that when Kennedy was shot . Is it that new .410 shotgun shell pistol , pity the poor fool who tries to rob you .:eat:

It was a gun, but not the JUDGE. I got back my .380 LCP from Ruger that had a recall. I had only used it once (not on anyone!) so it was still new to me. I bought it as my concealed weapon. Scary huh? Me with a gun! LOL!

 

I hope thats enough stopping power, if you ever need to use it.

 

Chris after 30 days or so the mint will raise the prices of these coins after their introductory offer expires. The mint can also raise the maximum order limit if they so choose.

The mint is in this to make money . They will continue to make them unless the year runs out, the maximum mintage limit of 500,000 is reached, people stop ordering them, or for some strange reason they have to suspend the program. IMO this coin will sell out but who knows.

 

it will sell out

King Spocks Prophecies

 

Incredibly elegant pun. :hail:

 

Lol. Did not notice that ..

 

2009 lincoln dollars almost sell out. i expect proof mintage around 350,000, unc 150,000. it should be sell out this week before price increase.

 

I read a post in US Coins on Monday that stated they are sold out already. The mint had sent some people emails advising they had met their limit. Should be 300,000 proofs & 150,000 unc, leaving 50,000 for sets.

 

Any idea on when the sets will be available?

 

Summer Release?

People in Coin talk have been saying a summer release.

 

thanx...

That's what I heard... but I cannot get a definitive
I also wonder if it will only be a 2 coin set? I'd like to see the 2-Ag coins plus the 8-95%ers.

 

Hi, the Lincoln proof set will consist of a Lincoln silver proof & the four lincoln proof cents.
