    I'm still trying to get Lincoln.

    They keep sticking me with Buchanan and Pierce.


    It'll be my luck, I see Johnson this week.

    I'll be getting them from the USMint's direct ship program in March.
    I'll get 2 boxes of lincolns since my son shares the same birthday (funny coincidence...he was early....his projected birth date was 2/22, which would have meant sharing it with G. Washington....so either way, he is fated to be President image ).

    I gave up getting these from the banks a long time ago

    ...direct ship is a good way to get a hold of some of these coins. only problem is a lot of collectors really don't

    like the idea of shelling out a minimum of 250 bucks. image but the free shipping does help persuade. image

    That sounds like sexual harassment.
  • Picked up a roll at the Bank today, I pick out four good ones for myself
    and distribute the rest to co-workers (at face).

    Anyone know if & when the 2011 Native American coins are out yet, and when they'll be available via direct ship? I thought they had an earlier release date that may have slipped?

    The Johnson release party was just down the road. Made local news. They are all over the place in my area!

    I don't mind doing the $250 (free shipping) deed on these.....when I get them, I look at some, put some away for the kid, then give the wife her allowance using the rolled coins....her co-workers always kid her, but cash is cash image

    I had on my calendar that the NA dollars were supposed to be out last week, but I either had it wrong, they were the "premium" wrapper ones vs direct ship, or the Mint slipped a due date........ either way, it seems that's the only way I'll get any & keep our collections up to date - - the direct ship.......

    The mint doesn't make mistakes....they just put them in charge...

    Ecuador might just be the only country left in the world that is our friend - - primarily because they love to use our Sac dollars!imageimage Make sure one of our remaining President dollars' portraits looks somewhat like Simon Bolivar, and we just might gain a few more South American friends!imageimage

    ...i called the mint and the young lady told me that the NA bucks probably will be part of the direct ship program but

    not until after march 28th. image i asked if they will put info on their site and she said 'most likely yes' image i also told her

    that MY conversation may be monitored for quality, just to mess with her head! image
