But, having so many pennies in the same set would tend to be overkill. It's much more attractive with just one representative for each design, and the fact that they are all proofs like the silver dollar makes it much more attractive.<br /><br />Besides, at present the only place to get the "satin finish" versions of the P and D cents is in the Uncirculated Sets. That prospect is a good thing when it comes to protecting the future value of those sets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-85478372721582613332009-10-04T08:31:45.754-07:002009-10-04T08:31:45.754-07:00It would have been nice if the Lincoln Coin and Ch...It would have been nice if the Lincoln Coin and Chronicles set would have included every varity of Lincoln penny produced. 4P and 4D Business strike, 4S proof and the 4P and 4D Unc Satin finish coins.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129765636110634760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-36688713065031506272009-10-03T18:58:20.231-07:002009-10-03T18:58:20.231-07:00It is a little presumptuous of anybody, no matter ...It is a little presumptuous of anybody, no matter what their plans are for getting them, to actually post that they are going to sell more than one of these items as well as know what the right price point is.

As long as the friends/family members have their own credit cards with unique billing addresses to use, the trick will work.<br /><br />Fortunately, the Mint considers additional orders that have the same credit card billing address to be duplicate orders, regardless of where the orders are being shipped. That policy makes it a little tougher for the scalpers, since they have to have the cash to pay their helpers up front, versus just charging the whole thing on their own credit cards to pay off from the scalp proceeds!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-71480256461192295552009-10-01T16:16:33.174-07:002009-10-01T16:16:33.174-07:00Would someone like to tell me how pre sale auction...Would someone like to tell me how pre sale auctions have already appeared on Ebay offering up to 10 or more chronicles to the public at prices ranging from $152 to $199 when there is a one limit per household and I thought there were even caps on dealers?

I wonder if they will be backordered to 10/16 when they go on sale.<br /><br />Michael, do you think this would be a good item to conduct a "shipping" or "delivery" timing poll?<br /><br />I'm guessing "shipping" date would be a more useful metric. Possibly comparing timing of those on "Subscription" to those that order today (at various intervals), tomorrow, etc.<br /><br />I think in the past we've seen evidence both ways regarding timing of shipment for "subscription" vs normal ordering. It would be nice to see if they've improved the subscription program and improved in shipping orders "in order received."Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-24319271110486016042009-10-01T06:32:47.803-07:002009-10-01T06:32:47.803-07:00Vaughnster must have a subscription for X number o...Vaughnster must have a subscription for X number of units of the Uncirculated Coin Sets each year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-88996741764309031322009-10-01T05:50:50.720-07:002009-10-01T05:50:50.720-07:00vaughn.....
