Prices Announced for Mint-Rolled Lincoln 2009 Cents

[astrostu]

Just announced via a press release, they will be selling these for a ~900% markup. Sold as a 2-roll (P&D) set for $8.95. What a jip.

At least you didn't buy an even higher overpriced version on Ebay... People paying $1.00 for one penny - the passion, .

 

I might pick up one set w/ another purchase - $4.95 shipping for two rolls is a bit high on top of the roll price.

Price is fine for me, good, keep some people away

 

You're paying for mint wrapper, and maybe even some better QC. That could mean higher grade coins on average

MAN O MAN......that was the same price on the nickels!!

That's what I was thinking. And, I'd bet big that these are the zinc planchets since the copper cents are reserved for proof (mint?) sets and the Lincoln commem/cents set.

 

I won't be buying any rolls although I do want the commem/cent set. That should be a very popular set.

Few rolls for me and a couple of Lincoln UNCs.. cancelled my 5, will go 2. 20 proofs tho

 

When those special cents and stuff come out, the 50,000 only set, will get as many as I can !

Yes, these are the copper-plated zinc planchets, not 95% copper.
