		<description>Joe, thank you for you recount of that day&#039;s events.  When I was at Union Station, there was about 100 in line, and the &quot;close to 1,000&quot; was based on what others had said, and not actual counting on my part.  In regards to managing how often people passed through the line, there was nothing stopping individuals from going through as many times they wanted at the ceremony itself.</description>

		<description>Dear Les    

I was fortunate enough to go to all ceremonies.Your report of 1000 people in line at union station is wrong.At any given time through out the exchange. I made personal counts of the amount of people in line there.At the very most at any given time until the rolls were all exchanged.Only a max number of 300 people were in line.Many of them ranged from ebay coin flippers, small dealers, homeless people trying to make quick money and other people who only wanted a few rolls for them selves.Many of them would get back in line wiping off the mark that was put on the hand to prevent people from getting double orders.At most ceremonies there were marks put on hands to prevent multiple buying.But this practice was never enforced by the people operating the exchange or the Mint enforcement officers on hand to assist in the ceremony. Because they would have never exchanged all rolls if that happened.At the US Postal Museum there was a line in which only a max number of 200 people at any given time were in line to have the special design 30 day cancel placed on the rolls.The biggest problem I saw with this type of 30 day stamp cancel was the fact that later Fed boxes could be purchased to have these 30 day stamp cancels placed on them as well.And those rolls would not be officially from the ceremony or exchanges from the first day.Therefore,I opted to go to two locations to have my rolls stamp cancelled with Authentic USPS stamp cancels showing the one day date(11/12/2009)which in my opinion is the only way anyone can be sure that these rolls were indeed from the first day exchanges.I hope this helps clarify any questions that may arise from collectors seeking these rolls.

      I decided to not sell any of my rolls until the final rolls were given out.Many people sold rolls immediately after the ceremonies to capitalize on high values.Complete sets are very tough to find now unless you may have been buying them as they sold after each ceremony.Due to the low turn out at the ceremony.I am only left to believe that many rolls from the ceremony went back to the Mint for disbursement to the fed.Knowing that the fed is completely overwhelmed with coins from 2009.It is my belief that the 2009 LP4 design may be the lowest mintage of the series.And given the turn out I witnessed at the last ceremony. It is also my belief that these last ceremony rolls will become the lowest amount exchanged.</description>
