Are the cents from the 2009 unc set the only unc copper cents?

I noticed that the cents in the 2009 unc sets are copper. Anyone think they will pull them soon?

Yes, the 2009 uncirculated set is the only place to find uncirculated copper cents. They are satin finish though. I think this set has decent potential. If the mint pulls them unexpectedly, watch the values soar. TC

 

Order 20, sell on ebay, wash rinse, repeat!

 

No, all the cents in the mint sets before 1983 were copper as well.

 

I am pretty sure the OP was referring to the year 2009 only. These 2009 cents match the original bronze composition (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc) of the Lincoln cent. From 1962-1982, I believe they were brass (95% copper, 5% zinc). TC

 

Do you guys really think that these are going to go up in value when the mint pulls them or are yall just kidding

 

If the mintage stays below 800,000 as it is right now, and the mint suddenly puts up the sold out sign, then yes I think it will demand a premium (due to the fact that this is the only place to get 2009 uncirculated (non-proof) bronze Lincoln cents). Of course, I have been wrong before, and this is all speculation. TC

 

I meant of the 2009 cents

 

One hit wonder on these. Time will tell. If you're thinkin' of buying them I'd pull the trigger soon, as, I don't think these will remain on the shelf much longer......

 

The 2010 Mint setcome out in July.

 

The 2009 mint sets are the only place for the satin finished copper cents from Philadelphia and Denver. You can get copper cents from San Francisco in the 2009 proof and silver proof sets. I'm hoping that it is a good year. I bought some of all of them.

 

I have 5 2009 Mint Sets WITH DDR Lincolns (WDDR-004, WDDR-005, WDDR-006) and could not sell them at $10 over my cost of $27.95. At $37.95, zero folks were interested for nearly two months.

Now ask me if I think the price of the 2009 UNC Mint Set will "soar"?

95% copper cents or not, I just do not think these will go anywhere except to possibly a little over face value ($14.38). Auctioned sets could go "below" face value.

Sure it was kinda cool to mint coins in the old copper alloy but the metal value between the old and the new is really a nit. And a very small nit at that.

 

High grades in the satin finish mint sets are so commonplace, that their value has not fared well, and I don't see that it ever will.

Of course you couldn't sell. Why would anyone buy them from you at $38 when they can still buy them from the mint for $28? Not a lot to figure out there.
