As Lincoln Cent collectors, do you feel obligated to buy this commemorative?

[kloccwork419]

Nope, But I will!!! Where do I get it?. I want the mint and proof if available. That would be nice to have 50 years from now!!

[tmawhit]

Ya, I'll buy it or two or three. Just hope they don't over produce it to kill the future value. Of course, if they don't I probably can't get one.

[car10]

I don't feel obligated but if I'm still employed when they are released then I'll get one of each.
Upon their release they will be available directly from
the mint catalog website (http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001)
by calling 1-800-USA-MINT
or by mail.

No, not at all....

A Morgan is only 95% Silver plus you have to pay the S/H/I to go along with it. It's the same group that has the Home Shopping Network. Buyer Beware!!!!!!!!
