2009 Lincoln Formative years Rail Splitter penny release in Lincoln City, IN

Well I made it down to the release on May 14th. It was a complete contrast to what they Hodgenville Lincoln Birthplace release was. Rather than having most of the 500 hundred or so people attend the actual ceremony prior to the cent exchange the majority of the 4000+ at the Lincoln City unveiling got [...]

I read where they are going to limit the rolls to a maximum of 6 rolls per time through the line. Additionally, there will be NO box sales at this event! Does this make sense to anyone? If the demand is there go on and let people buy as much as they want and get [...]

Updated mintages of the 2009 Lincoln cent/penny through March

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:04:02 +0000

The latest mintage numbers show that during March 2009, the Philadelphia mint produced 90 million cents while the Denver Mint produced just a mere 8 million cents. Perhaps the small batch of Denver cents minted in March are for the US Mint D/P wrapped two roll sets available on their site? If 8 million was [...]
