Of course the coins will be offered only by the roll, first come - first served, with a five roll limit per household. Those who miss out ordering at the Mint still will be able to participate later via the Home Shopping Network. |

Kinda like the 1970-D and 1970-S Kennedy Half Dollars. Very simple, yet would move about three to five million of the Unc sets, maybe three million proof sets. Perhaps more. If there were only 10,000 of each design, the RCC coin flippers would blow out their various sphincters trying to get an order in on the Mint's automated system. Most would die of unsuccessful profiteer's frustration and angst. oly |

Here in the Patch, on Interstate-55, you do see these huge coils of rolled metal strip, both copper-nickel colored and brass colored, all the time. Alton is about 80 miles south and is an industrial/ petroleum depot for the St. Looie area. A program the size of the Prezibucks has got to be meaningful to somebodies' somewhere pocketbook. 12 and 20 gauge shotgun shells might be as good as silver quarters one of these fine days, but I really couldn't trust myself to own a gun. oly |
