<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sholom, post: 588745, member: 17753&quot;]I think you are confusing two things:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; First day issue *bank* rolls (that cost 50 cents) -- these were going for like $40 on the first issue Lincolns with the Hodgenville, KY stamp.&nbsp; The current issue (the ones that got released yesterday) were going for close to $30 ea today with a &quot;DC&quot; stamp -- I&#039;m guessing ones with a &quot;Lincoln City&quot; stamp were probably higher, but I haven&#039;t checked yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; US Mint wrapped roll sets (that cost $8.95) -- these were going for around $70 - $80 soon after they sold out at the mint.&nbsp; So, if they sell out again by the end of May, those who get theirs first will be able to sell them at quite the premium (possibly like $70 to $80 again).&nbsp; Even if you get it a month after everybody else, *if* they sell out quickly like last time, you might be able to get $30 to $40 for them.&nbsp; But, this is based on the pattern of the first Lincoln cent.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure the pattern will be different this time in some (unknown to me) way.&nbsp; The key, of course, is to wait until they sell out.&nbsp; Then *all* buyers will have to compete on the secondary market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
