So I checked the mail Friday, and to my surprise there was a box from the Mint! I was not expecting anything so soon, as my order still showed as “processing” as late as Wednesday and was listed as shipping 10/31/09 when I ordered on the 14th. It was a great surprise! I took some pictures of the unboxing, check them out after the jump!

Today at 12:00pm Eastern, the US Mint will release the eagerly awaited Lincoln Coin & Chronicles set. The set includes:
- One 2009 Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar
- Four proof 95% copper cents featuring the four different 2009 reverse designs
- Reproduction photograph of Abraham Lincoln
- Reproduction of the Gettysburg Address in Lincoln’s handwriting
- Certificate of Authenticity
All in a leather-like tri-fold case with a slip cover. Production of the set is limited to 50,000 pieces, representing the last 50,000 Lincoln silver dollars out of the otherwise sold-out total production of 500,000. The price will be $55.95 and sales will be limited to one per household for the first 30 days of availability, though it seems unlikely this won’t sell out well before that point.
