Being the last in the Memorial cent series would it be smart to put these in the Keeper pile? Make a few rolls and throw them on ebay or something. And if so would it be possible to buy straight from the mint on these? I was on the online buy in the mints website and the only bulk buy items are Dollars, Halves, and Quarters.

I've been selling whole boxes on ebay. $40+ for a box.
If I come up with an extra roll (like I did last week) I'll post it for you if you want it. |

| Have you been getting them from your searches? Dividing them up by mint dates? I think thats what I want to do, not sure if I actually want to buy them as they are. |

I'd hold off until I see the mintage figures.
I'm betting '08 is going to be one of the highest seen yet.
If you want a roll of '08's just buy a $25 brick, you'll have a roll of '08's (minimum) for sure. |

| Seems like there would be a limited demand for assembled rolls of 2008 circulated pennies. I see enough 2008 Lincolns here in Canada to build rolls of them myself. Go for the ugly old Cu and spend the pretty new zinc ones. |

I've been following the Mint's production figures all year. I'd be surprised if 2008 isn't the mintage low point of the entire 1982-2008 zinc Lincoln memorial cents. This year will likely become the key date for the zinc memorial cent series. |

Well, I guess I could keep a roll of '08's.
Lord knows they're all over the boxes I've sorted lately.
It's not like a roll would have that big a foot print.
Do you think I should keep it with my rolls of Wheats? |

| One of my sorting boxes two weeks ago was 100% (looking at the ends) 2008's. I kept it just to say I have a box. |

I kept one box for myself.

OK, I'm intrigued enough to keep some Zinc.
I'll save a roll of select '08's P & D just in case there's a numismatic value for my grand kids.
But my bank box is getting kind of full.
Maybe I should see if I can get a free one at one of my dump banks, if I choose the correct account? |
