We received our first Lincoln Commemorative toward the end of March, liked it so much that we ordered three more and was notified yesterday that they had been shipped. Same experience as Vidal, one coin in a very large box.

Beautiful commemorative coin, great detail!

Pardon my ignorance. I was just late getting my order in. I didn’t know they had already shipped some. I can’t wait to get mine. Thanks for the info.

To all those who may think that no one has received the 2009 Lincoln commemorative silver dollar, you are wrong. I placed an order when the mint first made it available to order, I placed the order, forgot about it and one day on my doorstep was a box that had no indication of from the mint (not packaged in the typical box the mint normally sends) and inside this over-sized box was the 2009 Lincoln PROOF commemorative silver dollar…. I am very glad I placed that order because this is the COMMEMORATIVE OF ALL COMMEMORATIVES… This coin is without a doubt the best looking coin I’ve seen let alone the reverse with words that give me chills every time I read them. People back then knew how to phrase with feeling!!!!!! I checked the mint and it seems they have stopped filling orders until sometime in April. My guess is: there must be a shortage of “SOMETHING” can you say Ag.????

Actually I receive my both the proof and uncirculated on 3/2/09 directly from the Mint. However, I place the order early on the release date, though.

Actually, many thousands have already shipped. The Mint simply is in “backorder” status now for new orders, which has become common.

Considering the mint won’t start shipping the Lincoln dollar until March 13, 2009 you couldn’t possibly have one,.

Just received my Lincoln dollar from the mint. This coin is awsome in design and luster. The image of Lincoln is breath taking, the mint hit a Home run with this coin.

Well, it is Feb 28 and the Silver Dollar is going for 150 or more on ebay! I ordered 2 from the mint. This has got to be the neatest coin I ever seen.
