It was a busy day in Lincoln City.
A note was handed out at the guard gate to not "Engage in Business" of selling or buying of rolls or risk being thrown out!
6 rolls per person was the order of the day. Most got through the line a second time and few die hards got through 3 times.
NO cases were left at the end of the event. No sealed cases were sold/given out at the event as promised initially from the coin world press release.
At the end of the day, outside of the park, guys with signs were paying $ 10 a roll for those that waited in the lines for some rolls. And some were more than willing to sell them at that price.
Moy was there from the mint. A Mint official after the event admitted to $ 10,000.00 in pennies being brought to the event.
Here is Brandy from Freedom bank that coordinated with the US Mint to handle the roll distribution through Freedom Bank, Dale, Indiana Branch
A guy gets his rolls after a long wait in line....
Here is a news article on the event.....

All in all a great event. Got to meet some real coin collectors and lots of locals that came to make a few eBay bucks as well.
Anyone else go to the event as well?

Since they are mostly all fat old white guys it looks like the true coin collectors have turned out for the event.
If anyone here has 2 rolls that they want to sell me for very reasonable money, please PM me. Thanks.

Two words for that - RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<< <i>Thats a huge line! Thanks for sharing the pictures. >>
That is only a piece of the line!
I could only get about a 1/3 of the line in a picture at a time!
Most figured it took 1 1/2 hours to get their first 6 rolls....

No-charge exchanges with a few "local" residents & the rest of the population pays "gouging" $8.95 prices?
It's all a big money-making process now, with the little-fish collector getting frozen-out on these and similar products that are SUPPOSED to be minted for "general circulation"............
........ Lincoln Cents, Territory Quarters, non-circulating JFK halves.................................. SUX!!
All I want to do is get (either on my own or by trading with someone) 5 each "P" & "D" nice, clean examples of each of the 4 Lincoln cent designs this year............is that too much to ask without having to jump thru hoops?!
Let others make their tons of profits... just don't cut out the little guy who was once the backbone of collecting, or the newbie/YN coming in who are its future........
If anyone's broken-up a P or D roll of the latest Lincoln, care to spare some loose ones? Sell? Trade?...............
Thanks!
