[QUOTE="Stewart, post: 939342, member: 19834"]With all the insanity of the 2009 Lincoln Cent Rolls on the first day of issue with first day Postal cancellations last year. And all of the insane prices on ebay It was a very exciting thing to watch. When the Log Cabin rolls were at moon money on ebay. My son found 11 rolls at the corner Walgreens. Was very cool. I thought it would be cool to have a roll of coin post mark canceled before the first day of issue. When an opportunity came on the 2010 Lincolns I did just that. Got two rolls out of puerto Rico three weeks before the Official release On [B]Feb[/B]. [B]1st[/B] [B]2010[/B] I took the one roll I had not cracked open and took it to a small local Post Office in Comstock Mi. and bought and Olympics stamp and put it on the roll and had the nice lady hand cancel it. (Was watching a lot of the Olympics at the time) The official launch occurred on Thursday, [B]February 11, 2010[/B] at [B]9:30 AM[/B] Central Time at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois. Just ran across this in the safe today. almost forgot about it. Just wanted to share a weird numismatic idea I had earlier this year.
