Proof Lincoln Set

So the proof Lincoln cent set just went on sale today - anyone know why they are backordered to late November?

  • I don't but I did order 5 sets for Christmas Gifts for some "liddle" kids.

    could be many things.

    a few guesses:
    mint and silver proof sets are on sale and they want to ensure supply for those
    many current and upcoming releases and they don't want to overload the already problematic shipping processes.
    they want to load up on orders to better gauge how many sets to make. Those "S" coins would have to be melted or sold into 2010 if they over-produced.


    or make your own....


    who knows.

    for some time now, the "late nov. ship date" has appeared on the product schedule even.


    Don't expect these to ship any time soon.

    I haven't bought much this year, but I just ordered 5 sets.

    Don't know why, but they are cheap, so what the heck!

    I'll pass. I'll wait for the C&C set.
  • I went ahead and bought 5, bringing me up to a total of 11 sets of them so far. At what point do I become a hoarder of these? image
    imageQuid pro quo. Yes or no?
  • Nope ...... not interested.....I will wait for the unc. sets with the only non-proof copper Lincolns
