Message:: [QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3528692, member: 90692"][USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] ...there are some valuable doubled die Phila. "Formative Years"...dealing mostly with his fingers and the spine of his book. I have only found 3 2009 LCC (Lincoln Centennial Cent) from general circ. in the past 4 years or so.  They were all in very sad shape and were returned to the wild.  I found and kept about 20 of them in 2013, when I went through 2 coin hoards my brother had accumulated, each hoard had about 500 coins of all denominations.  The 2009s were uncirculated for the most part, as were most of the coins in the hoards.  I returned to the wild any that were less than AU58, with a few exceptions for Pre-1982...I ended up keeping about 50% of both hoards. Unfortunately, they are Zincolns.  Fortunately, they are Lincoln Zincolns. A lot of folks, like me, bought an uncirc. set and set them aside, just cool lookin' and different enough to be of mild interest...I think and agree the mintages were too high for them to have much value short term, but the Mint and Proof sets will be a different story 25 years from now. My heirs will deal with those...Spark[/QUOTE]
