Is this still going to happen? If so, what would the set look like? Also is the mint going to produce 2009 cents made of original copper composition with the wheat head reverse? I remember hearing rumors about this as well. Hoping somebody can clarify this to me! __________________ - Jake   05-16-2009, 10:46 PM   #2 (permalink) skippy Senior Member   Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: South Carolina Posts: 157 My Mood: The mint will have all four designs of the 2009 cents made of original copper composition in the uncirculated, proof, silver proof sets, and in the "Lincoln Coin & Chronicles set". But they will not be offering a wheat reverse version of 1909. AFAIK, at this time of post, none of those sets except the regular proof set (June 1st) have a hard release date set yet.

According to: http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs...atalogId=10001 I would be surprised if Unc Sets had copper cents because these sets are examples of circulating coins. I hope I'm wrong.   05-17-2009, 04:28 AM   #4 (permalink) elaine 1970 jasmine     Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: new york city Posts: 5,384 My Mood: only proof cent contained 95% copper.   05-17-2009, 04:53 AM   #5 (permalink) spock1k King of Hearts   Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,559 yes elaine i agree with u this time __________________ http://kidromeoisathief.webs.com/   05-17-2009, 07:31 AM   #6 (permalink) bama guy Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: southern alabama Posts: 972 My Mood: Do not mean to be the fly in the ointment here but according to the mint description under their annual sales program, the Lincoln cents in the uncirculated sets will be the copper ones http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs...egory_rn=10201   05-17-2009, 10:15 AM   #7 (permalink) spock1k King of Hearts   Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,559 Quote: Originally Posted by bama guy Do not mean to be the fly in the ointment here but according to the mint description under their annual sales program, the Lincoln cents in the uncirculated sets will be the copper ones http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs...egory_rn=10201 you done well now where is the fly swatter ? __________________ http://kidromeoisathief.webs.com/   05-17-2009, 10:33 AM   #8 (permalink) bama guy Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: southern alabama Posts: 972 My Mood: Spock, That big gator that lives across the road from me may have eaten my swater.

Just curious why they are trying to match the 1907 cent. __________________ The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere, And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.

That's a typo, in the congressional decree it says "1909", which is French bronze. __________________ Lincoln Lover! http://verdigone.com   05-17-2009, 12:19 PM   #11 (permalink) Jerms Member     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: SE Michigan Posts: 87 My Mood: Edit: Nm, someone else already made note of what I intended to post.

I hope I'm wrong. I stand corrected upon further review and investivigation. The Mint must be running 24/7 striking copper Prf & unc cents for inclusion into annuals. Seems that any copper Linclon cent will have low mintage and be heavily sought after.   05-17-2009, 03:17 PM   #13 (permalink) AdamL Likes Silver     Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Missouri Posts: 3,479 My Mood: I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the set with the cents and the Lincoln silver coin. Anyone have any idea when they go on sale? With a limit of 50,000 sets, I think we can expect a very quick sellout. __________________ Speak the truth, do not become angered, and give when asked, even be it a little.

I never felt the mint was super clear on this. Most of what I read stated these copper/bronze would be offered in the annual sets. Of course I was born parnoid and it has become worse with age. Something else to consider is nickels and dimes in these sets, especially the uncirculated sets. While these uncirculated coins will be of the burnished variety, they could help make these sets kind of interesting with their low mintage.   05-17-2009, 04:55 PM   #15 (permalink) rlm's cents Numismatist     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Oklahoma Posts: 5,525 My Mood: I just placed an order for 2 of these sets. Anyone want to try explaining this? You may have trouble lining up the columns, but I think you can get the gist of it.
