All others I have seen like this have been made of copper, but this one appears to be made from silver. I have searched on the internet for something like this but nothing has turned up. Is it possible that an error could have been made like this? Maybe someone could give me a clue as to where to search next.

Brian, you can order $2 bills and Eisenhower dollars from a bank that is willing to make the request. You will need to have an account with the branch and find a teller who is willing to process the order. I order $2 bills from the Affinity Federal Credit Union and Ike Dollars from Wachovia. I am sure there are other banks willing to do the same but you have to take the initiative and be persistant. Best of luck and happy hunting. In response to BrianV.

I thought the purpose of the the mint was to mint coins for the public....not to make a killing off of them. The same goes for the big mint institutions. They seem to have unlimited access to all the coins that are minted and the only way the public can obtain them is to pay the exhorbitant prices they charge. Collecting coins used to be a hobby that anyone could afford. No longer! Now the only ones who can collect coins have to have the big bucks to pay the greedy companies involved in selling them.

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:45:32 +0000 http://www.coinnews.net/?p=1563#comment-8552 The Lincoln Penny roll-out is a total bust!! All I want is to let my niece and nephew take some to school for Easter. I was going to make a nice Lincoln-History card and place an '08 & '09 inside attached in coin bags. The kids love when I bring them "Special Money" and I wanted them to share this joy with their classmates. After realizing there was no way to get the rolls from banks in time, I ordered the over-priced mint rolls and was willling to break them up. I was promised 4/3 ship date which has now been pushed back. I refuse to pay the scalpers on E-bay..I have seen the mint rolls over $65.00 per set of 2 rolls = 100 coins = $1.00 - UNREAL. If I knew the mint was cutting off after less than 100,000 sets, I would have ordered more. I live 30 minutes from PHL Mint, and was told they send out the coins to be rolled and they get shipped back to the mint from the same fufillment center that ships the customer on-line orders. Great - HUH?? So, I have been setting up my niece and nephew as future coin collectors, only so they can get steam-rolled by the US Mint and after-market up-charges. Plus, to make matters worse, I think the bank tellers are running games on collctors also. I was asking for Ike's or $2.00 bills at Xmas for the kid's and one girl told me she takes all to her GrandPa whenever they come in. The whole thing was handled in a lousy manner, and I hope the new Mint director can calculate production planning in a workable manner. BrianV.

I received two: one in change from a convenient store and the other from a pharmacy. Both are P-mint coins. Yes. I received two: one in change from a convenient store and the other from a pharmacy.
Both are P-mint coins.

I have no idea why the Mint decided to do this, but they are doing a great disservice to customers like myself who were planning on purchasing these coin rolls. Because of the low production numbers of the “Birthplace” Lincoln Cent Two-Roll Set and the abrupt end of availability from the Mint, they are now only available from aftermarket sources who are charging anywhere from $75 to $150 for these rolls! Just like they do with the State and Territorial quarter rolls, the U. S. Mint should offer these Lincoln Cent Two-Roll Sets for sale through the end of their mintage run!

I ordered five of each roll from the mint though. I got one in some change from a grocery store March 23rd in Smithfield, North Carolina. I ordered five of each roll from the mint though.
