Those dang things are a pain to open but if you look closely there is a little tab on one end of the box that when pulled will open that end. I opened a number of these boxes before I discovered that little trick.
birth & childhood, (P) 284,400,000 birth & childhood, (D) 350,400,000 formative years, (P) 157,200,000 formative years, (D) 72,400,000 other two lincoln cents are expected to be much lower than the above figures. i think the mint might stop producing it too. and issue some 1,500,000 to 2,500,000 for the collectors. just like the kennedy half. remember the nickel and dime also stop.
the two differents things happened at the mint: 1. mintage will be twice or more than the first issue. 2. no more order on hold. in process directly.
I just ordered 5 of the formative years. It says it is on backorder with an expected ship date of 6/29.
so you must be late. i am also late. mine is 6/15. most of them around 5/29 and before. by the way what time you order?. i order it around 1:30 and end 2:00. including verified it again. it ended 2:15 pm.
Some of the people around 1 eastern time, are 5/29's And I'm pretty confident all orders before then are 5/29's
$30.00 to $60.00 e-bay prices were for two mint rolls currently selling. 2009 lincoln formative years. the mint sell it for $8.95 per two rolls plus $4.95 shipping. limit to 5 sets per household. some outlet limit 6 sets.
Yep, I saw some PRESALES for the same rolls most of us just bought, that sold for $50! I'm hoping that price just keeps going on up for me...
the mint still selling as of 8:35 pm eastern time. i wonder how many sets were made for us the collectors?. the mint might overflow lincoln cent to us.
They better not... I didn't buy these cents, because I'm 100% in love... I thought these would sell out...
I'll give it 24 hours... I'm hoping the sell out... But maybe I'll still keep them, I mean, they WILL sell out, one way or another... Whether it be tomorrow, or three months from now.. I prefer tomorrow though! LOL
