I haven't seen any information to the contrary so I suspect the mint set cents will be satin. The proof cents will only be in the clad and silver proof sets and the special set coming out later in the year.

Was there any 2009 lincoln cents minted with a regular Lincoln memorial reverse? Maybe that will be the next error coin found. A mule 2009 coin with a pre 2009 reverse.

No there were not and you never know.


With the regular proof sets going on sale Monday, has anyone figured out the value of a proof four coin cent lens? With a four coin Presidential proof set selling at $14.95, that leaves a value of about $15.00 for the remaining coins in the set. Subtract the face of the fractionals($1.65 for the native american dollar, half,dime, & nickel) and $1.50 for the six quarters. That leaves $11.85 for the four proof cent lens(Not including shipping) Less than $3 per proof cent! And thats figuring the fractional coins in the set at face value, not proof value. Another way to figure it is this, 4 coin presidential proof set $14.95, 6 coin quarter proof set also sells for $14.95(cost at mint when purchased seperately). You get the fractionals for nothing when you purchase the regular mint proof set.

Yeah, anyway you slice it, getting the clad proof set is the most economical way to the the proof presidents, quarters and the rest of the coins.
