Message:: [QUOTE="SJVM, post: 782109, member: 21559"]"WOW! That high for LP1's & LP2's, huh? I guess I don't see it, I'm an old time collector that's buying the coin(s). Although I prefer some packaging over others, I'm not willing to pay a significant premium for mint wrapping vs. nf string. But, I guess some do and if it floats your boat, go for it - as long as the market for certain packaging remains strong, the unopened rolls should do well. At some point I usually open all my rolls looking for the coins I want, so at the point packaging means even less." I apologize.... it is the LP1 that are selling for that. The LP2 can be had at 2x-3x (but of course we are talking about an issue price of $8.95 for the two rolls). There is a packaging difference, but also (and please correct me if I am wrong) the mint rolls have the same metal composition as the 1909.  I cannot speak for anyone else here, but I have had a terrible time locating any of the NF wrapped rolls in the series. My Bank (and all the other local branches) were totally unwilling to help.  I finally found one who said that they would try to order for me, but a friend just told me that they are no longer available.  He is from Maryland and I am in NY, but who knows. All I can do now is hope. Speaking of the new cents.. what exactly is the deal with the 2010's?  I have seen the "Shield" design, but are they keeping Lincoln on the obverse or not? [/QUOTE]
