I think the confusion is that @Jeffjay accidentally typed 2019 instead of 2009 in his reply to my post, and you used that date in your AI query....
Resistance is futile. :borg::borg::borg:
Where's the money in that?? ;)
So, if I understand correctly, the advanced technology of today allows them to contour the face of a die with greater control and precision than...
I remember buying the 2009 set for the 100th anniversary Lincolns. A little surprised they don't attract more interest, considering I haven't seen...
The fact that one individual is finding them by the 100's tells me the mint is doing a terrible job of "randomly placing them in circulation" or...
Very sad news, the site and its members will miss him!
2008? I believe the copper plated zinc cents actually lasted until 2012 when they were replaced by dilithium plated kryptonite. I could be wrong.

Hate to say it but not for me. Too pricey for a set of base metal coins. The circulating coins usually show up in pocket change if you wait long...
Received my set yesterday. A cursory look shows the coins are all problem free, aside from the price tag. The choice of zinc is a little...
Dimes are notorious for overused dies.
I could be wrong, but I assume the Mint will see NIFC cents as a revenue source for some time to come. Too many completists, sentimentalists, and...
I still have my subscription, at least through this year, because I like the semiquincentennial coins and I've been collecting the silver sets...
Good stuff
Thanks, I love stories like this, and it prompted me to learn about the ill-fated SS Egypt and the salvage operation. Can you imagine going 128...
After years of checking my change, I finally came across the "W" quarter that's eluded me all this time! They really do exist. [ATTACH]
