UHR’s Shipping, Give the United States Mint Credit!
How many of you are upset with the United States Mint over your Ultra High Relief (UHR) Gold coin order?
I've been there too. I've felt frustration in receiving backorder e-mail notices. My worst moment was hearing from another collector who received her UHR even though she ordered it behind mine -- my order was placed within the first 55 minutes.
But consider... Unless you're an avid numismatic forum or blog reader, your experience in ordering the coin has probably been limited to 2-3 Mint emails, with the most recent explaining part of the UHR shipping delay. Has that experience been absolutely egregious as some of the online chatter would suggest?

2009 Lincoln Cent Rolls Available Soon
This article was first published on the CoinNews sister site, 2009 Lincoln Pennies.
The United States Mint today updated its Product Release Schedule and has added slots for 2009 Lincoln Penny Rolls.
Here is the schedule (note the general dates for the final three pennies):
| Release Dates | Roll Sets |
| 3/13/2009 | Lincoln Cent Birthplace |
| Spring | Lincoln Cent Formative Years |
| Summer | Lincoln Cent Professional Life |
| Winter | Lincoln Cent Presidency |
Up until today, the Mint had not publicly indicated that 2009 Lincoln rolls would be offered. However, the difficulty in finding the new pennies at banks or in circulation led many collectors to assume such an offering would eventually come.
