2009 Cents

[JasonB]

Got three new pennies today from a teller drawer in the Pentagon (all they had). Haven't been able to locate a roll yet though.

Maybe they're starting to leak out a little.

Lincoln Penny Rolls.

Here is the schedule (note the general dates for the final three pennies):

Release Dates Roll Sets
3/13/2009 Lincoln Cent Birthplace
Spring Lincoln Cent Formative Years
Summer Lincoln Cent Professional Life
Winter Lincoln Cent Presidency

Up until today, the Mint had not publicly indicated that 2009 Lincoln rolls would be offered. However, the difficulty in finding the new pennies at banks or in circulation led many collectors to assume such an offering would eventually come.

While the rolls are not specifically designed for collectors as proof and uncirculated coins are, they will contain Philadelphia and Denver cents produced for circulation that have never circulated. And best of all, the rolls virtually guarantee that anyone who wants to collect the coins will be able to without digging through pocket change.

As with all Mint products, there will be premiums charged. More than likely, each roll will have a price tag of at least 2-3 times face value, plus shipping and handling.

Whatever the eventual prices, they will be substantially lower than what most of the first set of 2009 Lincoln rolls have been going for lately on places like eBay.

Try this for example:
