Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

https://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...5955&langId=-1

Could be one of those "didn't see that comin'" collectibles in the future.

Only 50,000 units.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Looks interesting, but a bit pricey for a silver dollar and a few pennies.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Cheaper than the going rate for just the silver dollar on ebay!

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

It's in the cart, just can't decide if I want it now or if they will sell out by the 29th when the proof buff is released...I would like to combine shipping if possible. 50K units in 2 weeks with a 1 per household limit would be quite a sellout.

I did notice that the Mint's site got REAL busy for a few hours from noon on today when they went on sale :dontknow:

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Two weeks? They're probably going to sell out tonight if they haven't already. Got a few for myself.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Yep - bought a few.

thanks NUMI CHUM!

NEW 2 THIS

pretty soon you'll be an expert and know more than ANYONE in Washington, D.C. except Ron Paul :36_1_32v::36_1_32v:

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Ok, I went ahead and grabbed one since the shipping date has already moved up to 11/15.

??? If I want to order another one, do I need a new address or just a different name at the same address?

TIA

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

:yes:.....12:50...50 minutes to get in. May be sold out now(Around 9:00,my guess judging from mint order numbers), but mint takes extra orders in case of problem orders. OR may not be. Worth ordering,if only to "flip" IMO.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

I just ordered one then another...

we'll see - no big deal...:4_8_4v:

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Limit of one per address. Find as many good friends or family members as you can and pay them the $60.90 (includes shipping) to put it on their credit card and sent to their address.

There is an interesting article on CoinNews.net. Here is part of it:

"Unfortunately for our readers, interest in the Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set also brought CoinNews.net down for a few short moments. We apologize for that. More than nine thousand collectors passed through CoinNews this afternoon. While we see that in a long day, we have not in one short afternoon. At one point, within the space of 20 minutes more than one thousand readers clicked on the link we provided to the US Mint Web order page."

That's right, one thousand readers hit the mint site in 20 minutes just through their link.

THIS IS HOT! Don't wait!!

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Did you try this on the UHR when there was a limit of one? Were any orders canceled?

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Have you seen the pre-sales on ebay already? Some of the bidding is already over $120.00. :4_1_72:


TWICE the price of the Mint's selling price. :RockOn:

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Thanks for the heads-up. I ordered one as well. Hopefully get another too. :)

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

:565:I tried to order two, but was rejected. Thanks for heads-up. hey, look these guys are selling for 199 each at ebay...

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

I ordered one at 1:40 and then another to a different address at 7:40 and in 6 hrs there had been over 33,000 orders placed at the mint. Doesnt mean they were all lincoln sets, but im betting at like 75-85% were. This could mean more than half of the 50,000 have already been sold. And that was 20hrs ago :)

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

NN sez they sold about 30K in the 1st 5 hrs..... http://blog.numismaticnews.net/buzz/...iclesSets.aspx

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

I ordered probably about 10 :)

its good to have friends

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Geez guys, you made me jump in for one, what the heck?

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

I'll join in........

I just bought one. Also bought a Silver Proof Set. I dunno why. May make a good Christmas gift, maybe I'll keep it. It looked awful pretty.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Actually the thing seemed to be very expensive to me, but since others were buying I decided to buy one too.

And to answer the obvious question, yes I would jump off the cliff.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Got one too.:bear_thumb:

Update on the U.S. Mint site:

"Waiting List Notice: The number of orders we have taken meets the maximum limit for the United States Mint Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set. You may still place an order for this product, which will go on a waiting list. If a product becomes available due to an order cancellation, we will fulfill orders from the waiting list on a first-in, first-served basis. We cannot provide information about your position on the waiting list."

Sorry, Take a Number. You are number 89,325 in line! :confused_ma:

I am guessing cancellation on those with more than one order and any returns within 7 days of delivery.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Yes I think I'm on a waiting list I guess.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

:signs14: I'll pass on these. I don't support war criminals/tyrants.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Got my set in the mail yesterday. Not impressed at all. Real piece of put together crap IMO!

If you didn't get in on this direct from the Mint, do not jump on the ebay wagon to buy it!! :36_1_30:

You are better off getting ahold of the single proof dollar and then order the proof penny set off the Mint site that is still currently available. The rest of the packaging sucks!

My local dealer offered me 80% of the going ebay prices. Not a bad deal, would come out $80 ahead. I am going to see if I can get a better deal with a trade for silver.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

that bad? I'll be getting mine soon.
maybe this is the set to flip?

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

I snoozed on these. I forgot about them or I would have grabbed one and flipped it for the $180

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Lincoln ordered union troops to kill civilians and burn cities. He shut down newspapers critical of his policies and ran out political opponents. Why he has been deified like he has is only because "the winners write the history books". I wouldn't buy one of those coin sets if I could resell it for 10 times what I bought it for. Lincoln should not be honored, he was a tyrant to the highest degree.

Collect the black president series

1. John Hanson (a Moor) was actually the 1st President of the United States, he served from 1781 – 1782 and he was black. The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land).

Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.

As President, Hanson ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as removal of all foreign flags. He established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents since have been required to use on all Official Documents. He declared that the 4th Thursday of every November to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. Even though elected, one variable that was never thought through was that America was not going to accept a Black President during the heart of the enslavement period. Enter George Washington.

2. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States, he served from 1801 – 1809 and he was black. His mother a half-breed Indian squaw and his father a mulatto (half white and half black) from Virginia. He fathered numerous children with Sally Hemmings, a mulatto slave with whom he lived with in Europe.

3. Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. He served from 1829 – 1837 and he was black. His mother was a white woman from Ireland who had Andrew Jackson with a black man. His father’s other children (Andrew Jackson’s stepbrother) was sold into slavery.

4. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, he served from 1861 – 1865 and he was black. His mother was from an Ethiopian Tribe and his father was an African American. It was told that his father was Thomas Lincoln, a man to cover the truth, but he was sterile from childhood mumps and was later castrated, making it impossible for him to have been his father. Lincoln’s nickname “Abraham Africa-nus the First.”

5. Warren Harding was the 28th President of the United States, he served from 1921 – 1923 and he was black. Harding never denied his ancestry. When Republican leaders called on Harding to deny his “Negro” history, he said, “How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the fence?”

6. Calvin Coolidge was the 29th President of the United States, he served from 1923 – 1929 and he was black. He proudly admitted that his mother was dark but claimed it was because of a mixed Indian ancestry. His mother’s maiden name was “Moor.” In Europe the name “Moor” was given to all Black people just as in America the name “Negro” was used.

7. Dwight E. Eisenhower was the 33rd President of the United States, he served from 1953 – 1961 and he was black. His mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover Eisenhower, an anti-war advocate, was half black.

8. Barrack H Obama

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Mine shipped out yesterday. I guess they had a bunch of multiple orders that they canceled? I was on the waiting list.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Ditto, I was on the waiting list also.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Mine shipped 2 days ago...awaiting delivery...I kinda don't want it anymore hahahaha. Cant wait to flip it for a profit, hopefully that's not years down the road.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

I wasn't on the waiting list, and mine hasn't shipped yet.

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Did you get it yet Tekhen? What did you think?

I flipped mine on ebay. After all my costs (i.e. ebay, paypal, postage, and $60.90 for mint set), I was left with enough FRNs to turn them into 6 oz of fine silver.

Price for 6 oz of fine silver === $0.00!! :5_1_120:

Thanks U.S. Mint! :36_3_16:

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

Hydro...
It was delivered but I'm not able to get my hands on it:thumpdown
Business calls and I find myself overseas for the next several weeks.

Since I can't flip now, the plan is to sale in time for Christmas (if I can get back in time)

6oz :clap2::applause_:clap2:

Hopefully my luck will be the same!

Re: Anyone buying the LINCOLN Coins & Chronicle?
 

I don't think Lincoln actually gets any of the proceeds.
