Lincoln Set

AGCoinHunter · Oct 15, 2009

Anyone happen to pick up the 2009 Lincoln coin and chronicles set today from the mint? I was able to secure mine in the first few minutes it opened @ noon. Not that this is any gague but feebay already has them listed for upwards of $700. Set is limited to 50k.

Who know, you might get one of these with some Ikes one day!

Thank you for the reminder. I like this set since it comes with the 95% Cu cents.

Good luck getting it. I bet it sold out in 30 minutes. But never hurts to try.

I got one. And had my brothers each order me one - it was crazy right at 12ET. The site crashed a dozen times!

Got mine order in around 1:15pm ET - they are still taking orders but are over the 50k limit. They are planning on some bad credit cards and people trying to get extras. Should be worth at least $150 when it comes in!

AG, thank you for this post! Otherwise I would totally miss out.

I saw your post after work so I immediately switched to US mint site to place an order which was 7 hours later. My order number is 33209xxx. I think the number started from 33159xxx. Some people placed more than one order and some orders are for different products. I think I just barely got mine since I was not placed on the waiting list. What's your number, AG?

my number is 33214XXX, wonder if i will get one?

I am in the 33159xxx range. I had the order in within 5 minutes of the open. Got through at minute 2, took 3 minutes to place the order.

I am in the 33176xxx range.

Got mine in at 1:15pm - 33169### Sounds like they moved more than 10,000 sets in the first hour. They are selling on ebay for more than $150 today. Tempted to list mine...but I do like the set and only got the one ordered. Guess I should have lined up my brothers and sisters and friends and made a few bucks yesterday!

Got mine yesterday in the mail. Its a beautiful set. Did notice the 95% copper pennies look quite different. One even seems to be a bit discolored. Dont know if its tarnishing or just the way the light was hitting it through the plastic case. I will look a bit harder this weekend when I get some time.
