A new doubled die would be tough with that reverse! Just not much going on with that shield design wise. Not like with the Formative Years where Lincoln's hand is in the perfect central spot. Maybe some of these will be without the edge inscription though......
....it will be quite a temptation to rip open the fancy wrappers to check 'em.

I bet these are not big sellers as eBay prices for these rolls have come down to less than $2 each in many cases. The only draw is the fancy rolling paper they come in which admittedly people do collect. Errors....... who knows? Once you open the $9 box you have $1 worth of coins...... The Mint wins again!!
The reason would be that they are the first of a new design. However, as we all know, these will be hoarded like so many first designs. So without a limit posted, these specific Mint two roll sets may have a huge number behind them. Of course you can buy them because you love collecting Lincolns and $8.95 a box won't break the bank.
<< <i>Ordered 5 sets, I guess there is only limited demand for this item, because I breezed through check out. >>
Same here. That was the quickest I've ever ordered anything from the mint. Well, not the quickest. I'd say the quickest was when I ordered a set of the ever-so-popular Kennedy halves last year.

Have you ordered any spouse coins recently? The order is literally finished before you open the browser. Now that's fast!
Those cancel boxes are gone so quick...they don't want any buyer remoress...at least till you get them home. Then I guess if you bought 5 boxes, the cost to mail 5 dollars worth of cents back, will make you forget about it.
Something very interesting happened.....I logged into the Mint website to see the status of my order yesterday and.......now it shows no orders in the order tracking section like it did yesterday...I even remember my number but now there is nothing showing?
Update....called the mint, provided my order number that the website gave me yesterday......no record of me ever ordering?....how is that for customer confidence
So I had to place another order today and I hope that they don't bill me twice
My 5 came in yesterday... though I agree these will likely never significantly appreciate, it will nevertheless be nice, in the years to come, to know I have 5 pristine, original sets. They'll probably serve me better to have them - and give them - as gifts which, due to their new-ness and originality, will probably be appreciated far more than their value will ever justify.

Who cares at this point. There will be so many of these that the only people making anything will be the mint.

One day I will be able to build a bomb shelter out of these little unopened white boxes I keep accumulating.
<< <i>bought my usual 5 boxes.

6 boxes, same order number starting 5, habit I guess.
Got checked out really fast for the mint, I guess there wasn't much demand to get right in and buy them.

<< <i>What does it mean if it says "Order Suspended" in the order status. Also says In Stock and Reserved with no cancel box. >>
It means they have suspended your order to check your pennies for errors before they send them out
<< <i>What does it mean if it says "Order Suspended" in the order status. Also says In Stock and Reserved with no cancel box. >>
Probably something wrong with your cc...suggest you call them.

Love the label and the shield....pennies on the dollar; it's a no-brainer.

The cancel boxes are still there and the order is on "hold" (they don't trust me after all the ridiculous money I spend there?)

<< <i>Got a couple of sets - to go with the 2009 Rolls from last year. What can I say, I like fancy paper ...
Your in good company with that statement. It's the mint produced rolls that count and not what's inside the rolls.
So I had to place another order today and I hope that they don't bill me twice
