The seller claims that everyone went to the Post office while he stayed behind and stamped them with this special ceremony stamp.Does anyone know if there was such a stamp as this.I heard that a special made stamp was stolen.Is this the one that was stolen? If so,was this the person that stole it or did he get his stamped before it got stolen.Or was there a special ceremony stamp at all.I hope someone that knows this can check in to this and see what is going on here.Because there is already enough fraud going on out of this and the first ceremony.It's a shame people take advantage of this coin just to make a buck.I'm sure Abraham Lincoln wouldn't have wanted it this way.So if anyone knows what might be up with the listing below.I would appreciate it if I could get some answers to this Listing and the person who created it.You can find the listing by going to ebay and doing the keywords of the listing below.<br /> Thank you <br />2009 Indiana Formative Years Lincoln Railsplitter Roll<br />Rare Ceremonial cancellation, 42 cent stamp I was there<br />US $99.99<br />Time Left: 13h 41m 02sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-79673037398473829642009-05-24T21:46:44.034-07:002009-05-24T21:46:44.034-07:00Was in attendance as a community supporter.

Whether you ordered in the first hour or a day later of the release their answer is 4 - 6 weeks. I ordered within the first hour and checked with my order status today on their site. The date of shipment was mid July but my invoice says May 29.

It is the postmark that says "Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial" across the top and "Lincoln City, IN" with NO zip code across the bottom. I would expect to see a lot floating on EBay when whoever took it gets their case lots! Talk about a way to ruin the collector's value for everyone. I was at the post office in the morning and got some items postmarked with that stamp before the rolls were handed out. When I went to the post office after I got my rolls, the best stamp was gone!<br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-2482326979870997362009-05-17T15:05:00.000-07:002009-05-17T15:05:00.000-07:00I read with interest that Mint Director Moy is bei...I read with interest that Mint Director Moy is being replaced.
