Well since the line wasn't long at Union Station in Washington Dc, my son, his friend and I went through the line 7 times to get 6 rolls each.. Then up to the 9th Street Mint, they let us go through 3 times each until someone blew the whistle on another two guys and then the guard at the door watched each ones by face and said no more.. So not a bad day, had lunch at ESPN zone, spent a day with my son and friend and now going to crack open a few to see what could be inside..

Here are some out of roll. Pretty coin on Reverse, but first roll had those damn black spots on Obverse.

Jesse, I will not be flipping.. If most of you don't get any soon, I will ship some out with SASE.

P.S. I had to show my boys.. I took a bunch of photos of my Ravens this past Weekend.. Sorry.... GO RAVENS..

Nice score but there a few kids out there not getting any because you got greedy and broke the rules.

I think it's bad form and even worse if you did it to profit. I'm not saying you are a bad guy so don't take offense, you just worked the system.

I almost felt embarrassed standing in line to get 6 rolls in Springfield.

Some yahoo had a hat with handmade signs on it seeking to sell Lincoln dollars. Somebody else had a sign outside the event offering to buy rolls for $10.

The line at the post office of people seeking to date stamp their rolls was insane. I didn't stick around but bet it was at least a 90 minute wait.

Is this the freebie request post or will there be a separate one for that?

tjc2120 · August 13, 2009 5:05AM

YaHa, any of these guys you?

I got my sister to go for me but could only convince her to go through once. She thinks, appropriately so, that we are all crazy.

CSI Photos are always hard to dodge.. I am the guy in the White Hat blue shirt next to the guy in the red shirt.. In second photo.. Pretty cool someone snapping my photo..

P.S. the guy in the back of us with the sign and the lady told us he sold a Lp2 Philly Ms 68 for $1050, just a few weeks ago or was it a month ago..

Jesse not going to flip anytime soon.. Also gave one roll to a guy that stopped to ask why everyone was in line.. He didn't even know any new pennies were being released this year.. My son told me I am too nice..

The man and his wife really gave me that look of wow, what a nice person, even offered me a buck, I said enjoy.. They just got off of Amtrack for a business meeting and had to run.. So maybe this gives me a little pass huh?

BillyKingsley · August 13, 2009 5:31AM

I still have not gotten the first two yet, other then in my proof set. Despite the fact that my mom's best friend works at a bank, they are just not to be had around here!

Did you find any double dies?

And thanks for the give away!!!

MsMorrisine · August 13, 2009 9:48AM

While I was in line at Union Station I saw someone with a pull-along suitcase who easily had 1 box worth and was working on his second. I got a view as he was adding his latest snag.

I hope they bring in more boxes for the last release.

I saw that as well at the last release, along with the guys that either ask for an empty box, or just prebought the empty bank boxes from nf string and son, load them with the new rolls while they are there, take them to the post office and ...well you know the rest.....

This guy is offering boxes of the D Mint's, the boxes look kinda funny though... link

MsMorrisine · August 13, 2009 10:45AM

first roll.... not my auction.... sells for $33.44 incl. shipping

MsMorrisine · August 13, 2009 10:51AM

>>

it's the color

boxes and rolls for cents are supposed to be red.... that looks orange-red

looks slightly out of focus, too.

Yea, I was a hog today. Got a 60+ rolls of P mint Lp3 pennies. (Pics Included)
