<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinbuff, post: 523848, member: 9564&quot;]Hello to all,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I got the impression from the US Mint website (&quot;pressroom link&quot;) that the 2009 cents made with original copper/tin/zinc alloy will be included in the 2009 mint and proof sets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Quote from the press release concerning 2009 Lincoln cents:</p><p><i>The United States Mint also will issue numismatic versions of the four redesigned pennies with exactly the same metallic content as the 1909 coin (95 percent copper, five percent tin and zinc). These coins will be minted in proof and uncirculated condition, and will be included in the United States Mint&#039;s annual product offerings.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I understand &quot;<i>annual product offerings</i>&quot; to mean mint and proof sets.</p><p>Am I correct in my understanding?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know sometime in Spring the mint will issue a limited mintage five coin Lincoln set which will include the dollar and the four copper cents. Whether or not the coppers will be included in the mint and proof sets will affect the number of these &quot;limited mintage sets&quot; I will attempt to purchase.</p><p>The annual proof sets are on the Mint&#039;s product schedule for Spring release, the annual mint sets for Summer. The 5 coin Lincoln set is not shown on the product schedule, but AFAIK, it is fairly well known amongst collectors that they will be released &quot;sometime in Spring&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any info will be appreciated! :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
