I thought I saw a post here that someone on EBay bid $150.00 for a two roll set. To answer your question I saw the Lemming line at the ANA Money Show in Portland so had to get in it once the word went out that the US Mint was running out of them. They were limiting buyers to one set each and they did run out at the show.

I purchased 5 sets. As yes they are currently bringing anywhere from $40-$150 for a P & D set. Some sellers have the BIN over $100 on ebay, and will probably get it. Personally, I'm not going to flip them, but keep them tucked away for a long time.

Ditto.

I will however, open a box to take a peek

The prevailing rate on Ebay yesterday was $80 for a mint-sealed set.

I also made a purchase of 5 sets. I will be keeping them, thanks. I have to believe that the special mint wrapping will keep these visible for some time, over the typical bank rolls.

I bought 1 set, now I wish I'd bought at least 2 more for a total of 3 -- one to keep, one to sell, and one to cherrypick through.

I ordered five sets along with five of the proof and unc commem's.

I just checked and they all show In Stock and Reserved so I hope to get mine.

I, too, ordered 5 sets from the Mint... they're scheduled to ship 4/2...

Promised two sets to my Dad... might flip the three I keep, since I'll probably end up with the other two in the course of time...

You are not planning on working on your Dad's brakes are you?

Noooooo...... Besides, I learned as a teenager that he's got eyes in the back of his head!!

Batman23 · March 30, 2009 10:57AM

I ordered three sets. I did not think the mint would run out of these, all they have to do is grab another bag and roll them. Now I am wishing I wasn't such a tightwad and ordered the full five.

coinman420 · March 30, 2009 11:06AM

i have 5 sets on the way. i`m thinking because of the spotting problem i should just dump them but i guess i`ll open one box to take a peek.

Zulu · March 30, 2009 11:41AM

I ordered three sets, I should have ordered five, not sure why I was a tightwad. I will keep one set and give the others to my nephews who are collecting cents. I do not think these roll sets will hold thses high values for long. My guess is about $10.00 a roll by next year, although my predictions have been wrong in the past.

Has the mint released how many roll set were issued?

Define "Stupid Money"?

Do you mean double or triple of what you paid or do you mean 10 or 15 times what you paid?

Since they are selling at 6 to 8 times what was paid, is that Stupid Money?

timber100 · March 30, 2009 12:15PM

I bought 2 sets and regret not getting more. I am also thinking of upping my current order for the proof and uncir sets just to get the 95% copper cents to slab.

OPA · March 30, 2009 12:27PM

5 sets + 5 more sets ordered by a family member. I should have asked more family members to order some for me.

19Lyds · March 30, 2009 12:32PM

BTW, I did order 5 sets and have presold one which covers my initial Mint order fees.

And my listing fees.............

And my Paypal fees............

And my Mailing fees............

Two more are up for grabs as I only have room for two sets.......... one I'll open and the other I won't. (Unless, of course, someone finds an edge lettered Lincoln!

Then all bets are off! )

IMO, this first coin in the series, coupled with its current popularity and the fact that the US Mint really DROPPED the ball by NOT offering these two roll sets on the First Day of Issue, will make this particular set a long term winner. I could almost guarantee that you WILL never, be able to purchase these for less than double their offering price. The jeyword here is "almost"!

The second and third coins in the series will be loser's unless some type of mint error is found in the "Official Mint Rolls". The fourth coin could also get passed over as everybody loses interest and/or does not want to gamble because they lost their butts on Number Two and Number Three.

Been there and done that with those frigging Keelboat, Bison and Ocean in View Nickel! Damn! I only ordered 1 set of the Peace Medal Nickels (along with everybody else) for $8.95. They went Super Nova after the Bison Nickel was released so I later sold that one set for $93.00!

I then turned around and bought a truckload of the Keelboat and Bison Nickles which then proceeded to be "over-sold" and now I'm lucky and I mean REALLY lucky if I can get my original $8.95 price for them! Losers!!!!!!!

The lesson to be learned here is to pay attention and when it comes time to jump into the fray, make your jump! But.....you must pay attention or you'll quickly find that the pool is empty and your gonna get hurt!

Anybody have any figures on how many were sold by the Mint??

100,000 sets.

I ordered 5 & had the GF order 5. Not sure that she'll get hers since it's the same ship add., diff CC though.

Yep got 5 rolls too, gee topics get old here fast. Lots of action

Will also be holding them, the wrapper version and the low amount 100k means these should retain a healthy price whenever you resell.

If a BILLION new cents go into circulation, people aren't going to save many.. there will be too many to save ! definitely going to buy 5 rolls of each of the other 3 designs.

boucharda · March 30, 2009 7:59PM

Yep....threw in 5 rolls with my 2nd order of Lincoln pf/unc's. All are "in stock and reserved"

Also put out a BIN pre-sale after seeing the $158.50 someone paid for 2 rolls....

Not really anxious to sell any and, so far, no takers

If this doesn't sell it will be the 2 rolls I open to check them out. Maybe I can sell the wrappers on the Bay...like the empty boxes I see people buy
