I'm so sad, no more mutant Lincoln hands

Amazing, and I have not even seen one in circulation yet. Not like when I lived in Seattle - the new coins were on the street almost immediately. Cheers, RickO

I just received my first Cabin cents.... got 4 rolls at a bank earlier this week.

Now that 10 million people

each have two BU rolls, what

are you gonna do with them?

Interesting that the Philly production was less than half of the Denver Production.

Do you suppose thats because they thought they made twice as many reverses as they actually did or that they actually did make twice as many reverses?



Whatever.

The more I think about this the more I am convinced that some die maker there is simply having some fun watching coin collectors through out the world clamor over those DDR's.
I also find it interesting that Denver has zero reported so far.

I mean, what are the odds that Philly can have so-o-o-o many, yet Denver gets none?

Papi

I agree. I asked Billy Crawford the same question. Why no Denver DDRs?

His response was Philly had poor quality control.

Open them up and try to find one that does not have a extra finger.

I knew a feller, once, that had 10 fingers.

8 on one hand and 2 on the other.

Not this year, Rick.
The Wash DC quarters are out but that is the only 2009 coin that I have seen in change around here this year, so far.

I did pick up some formative years from the bank but haven't seen them in change.....

That was just the June production. Total is 363 Denver and 376 Philly. The DDR's were obviously produced before June.
