Starting to find 2009 Lincolns, in odd ways

bbfirebird

In my spare time, while I'm watching a baseball game or something, I like to go through rolls of cents that I buy in boxes from my local bank. Over the past couple days, I've been finding about 2 2009 Lincolns per box, mixed in with all other dates. They appear uncirculated, but it surprises me that they aren't coming in solid rolls.

From what the bank tellers tell me, Wells Fargo in the Phoenix area has a "money vault" where they receive their boxes of coin (rather than from the local federal reserve).

Sound odd to anyone else that they're just thrown in with other circulated coins? Additionally, every bank I've called doesn't have any rolls of the new cents.

I haven't found any 2009 cents in my $25 bank bricks, yet.

Might I suggest a copy of Looking Through Lincoln Cents as well as a good magnifying glass or stereo microscope, if you don't already have them.

I just got one in change at the Kroger's grocery store.

I'm feeling quite special right now

Haha


I have yet to receive one in change. I actually tried to acquire a few hundred boxes of these by calling the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, as well as about 20 different Brinks coin vaults from Brooklyn to Orlando, and the most I found was 3 boxes in Atlanta, which would obviously not be worth my trip. Oh well...There goes that money-making scheme.

I received 50 in a paper wrapper from Cucamongacoin as a giveaway.

I also found some 2009 Lincolns in an odd way recently ... earlier in the week I received two rolls from the US Mint. It was odd because I ordered them in February!

Still have not received one, except from Abe himself at the Whitman show.

I haven't gotten any in change yet. The 2008's are just starting to come out in my area more and more frequently.

I think you meant to say March. Give the mint some credit

Four rolls showed up at my house. One from a giveaway, 3 from out of nowhere.
All I could remember is that line "ask and you shall receive".


It's quite surprising, actually. I think I'll quit posting.
