<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fyrzout, post: 514139, member: 17168&quot;]<b>Sellout For Sure!&nbsp; Buy &#039;em while you can...</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I have exactly ZERO commemoratives in my collection-I&#039;ve never been drawn to them. THIS coin I am drawn to, for a variety of reasons: First of all, I think the design is absolutely stunning! Lincoln looks great (and distinct from the penny portrait we&#039;ve had for the past hundred years). And the words on the reverse still ring appropriately in today&#039;s tough world environment. I think those words are powerful enough that they actually &quot;work&quot; on this commemorative. I predict this coin will offer a huge return on investment to anyone who decides to hoard a few (Yes, I will be among them!). As a collector, I&#039;ve never &quot;speculated&quot; and purchased multiples of a particular issue in hopes of its value going up. But I&#039;m telling you, this one will! Here&#039;s my reasoning:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. We just welcomed our nation&#039;s first black President, and he&#039;s a Senator from Illinois (&quot;Land of Lincoln&quot;). He was sworn in on the Lincoln Bible (only president to be sworn in on it besides the man himself). Lincoln is considered to be the champion of emancipation. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. We are celebrating the 200 year anniversary of Lincoln&#039;s birth. And the 100 year anniversary of the Lincoln Penny (and 4 new reverse designs to collect!)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. 500,000 total. Yes, other commems don&#039;t always sell out. But the popularity of Lincoln, combined with the above items, sounds to me like we are in the &quot;perfect storm,&quot; if you will, of opportunity. Factor in the 50,000 issue Proof set with the four pennies, and that&#039;s another hot item I&#039;ll bet goes up in value quickly. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once the general public catches on to these items, I&#039;m predicting there will be a frenzy, which will drive prices up. I&#039;m certain some enterprising folks will come up with an expensive Lincoln-Obama coin set (did you guys see those awful Obama &quot;dollars&quot; with a color sticker over a Presidential Dollar people have been hawking? UGGGHHH) to sell. A friend and I have an over/under wager on the sellout of the Lincoln Dollar. We set the bar at 4 months (I took the under, boldly stating to him &quot;waay under&quot;). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I read today there is a limit of 100 coins of each type (proof &amp; unc) per household. While I&#039;m not THAT big of a speculator, I&#039;m certainly going to grab a few extras. My recommendation to anyone who might invest is to consider the uncirculated ones (they will almost certainly be the lower mintage, and therefore more desirable later on). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, while I have no way to &quot;guarantee&quot; my speculation is correct, I will say I personally will be standing in the digital line at noon on the 12th to place my order. I&#039;m betting a few others of you will as well. Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
