2009 Uncirulated mint set

i expect the mintage for 2009 uncirculated set will be much higher than 2008 set. simply because many collectors rush to buy them. this is due to lincoln cent. secondly due to nickel and dime.

Elaine and Phil, I hear you. Each year has it's special coins in the mint sets. The 2008 has the last Lincoln Memorial cent, last State Quarters, and last Sacagewea flying eagle reverse. Plus the differnt presidential dollars.
The 2009 sets have the four Lincoln 95% copper cents, the first territorial quarters, the first Sacagewea Native American reverse design, and the difficult to get nickle and dime coins. Plus the different presidential coins.

I change my opinion, both sets are equally collectable so: everyone who likes the 2008's more buys dinner for those who prefer the 2009's.
See was that hard?:mouth::hammer:

 

Yes I agree.
but then again the mint set is very late this year almost like 2004. we will have to wait and see what finale number are?

 

I just don't like the idea of them. It's just not what I collect.

 

I ordered a set only because I want those penny's unc. I also ordered 2 of those penny proof sets, even though I already have one. With prices going up the way they have been I don't think I can go wrong with my small purchase. Besides, I can always give the 2 sets of proof pennies as Xmas gifts.

 

Actually, I'm interested in all these coins since I'm getting very, very few 2009 coins in general. I haven't seen any 2009 nickels or dimes in circulation and only one 2009 quarter. I just got a couple of Harrison and Tyler dollars. I may resort to buying some book fillers at the local coin show next month. As I mentioned in my earlier post, my biggest interest is those 95% copper pennies.

 

I'd guess that sales on the Mint Sets will be high because of the cents and the lack of circulating nickels & dimes. However when folks realize in a few years that the only source of circulation grade copper cents for 2009 is the Mint Set, they'll disappear quickly.

 

2008 mint set is already the winner. up 100%. cost $22.00. currently between $40.00 to $50.00 per set. in order for 2009 mint set to gain 100%. cost is $27.95. price should go up to $56.00 in order to gain 100%.

 

Anyone know what the mintage numbers will be for the unc set? The Mint's website doesn't list the number for some reason. Like someone said, it could be lower because of the depression (yes, depression) we're in...or they could simply realize we're going to buy them regardless!

 

2009 mint unc set should be higher than 2008 set.

 

I was looking for a real number....I'll find it on another site. Thanks for the info you had....

 

I wasn't aware the Mint placed a preproduction limit on mint sets...or proof sets for that matter. I thought they kept making them until the time limit expired.

Value = Collector base / Mintage

My guess is that the 2009 Mint Set "mintage" will be large (larger than 2008 even given the increased price and our recession/depression...or whatever you want to call it).

However, the Collector Base over time will become HUGE (imo) due to the interesting mix of coins. The 2009 Mint set could be the next "1999 Silver Proof Set"...buy 'em now or wish you had later!

 

Oh, yeah...got several, thinking just like you are, Yakpoo.

 

Besides the misspelling, isn't the title to this thread the ultimate redundancy?

 

What would you have preferred? It's not that much different than what the mint posted as a description. (with the exception of a minor misspelling which everyone that read the thread was able to understand regardless) "The 2009 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set"

 

If it's mint, it's uncirculated!

 

mint means u.s. mint.

 

okay - lol - lets call it "US Mint Non-Proof Set" to eliminate the redundancy

 

Each year the mint calls the various annual sets the same name. What do you want, a code number? Live with it? It's to trivial to waste time on.

 

I don't know why i keep hearing that the Unc. Mint set will be the only source for the original composition pennies.... its not. They are in the Proof sets as well - the Unc. set will have the same composition with the Satin finish... right?

Here is the description for the 'just pennies' proof sets "shipping 11/30" from the mint website:

2009 Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Proof Set (LN2)

Price: $7.95

Product will be available for shipping 11/30/2009
In 2009, the United States Mint is minting and issuing four new one-cent coins in recognition of the bicentennial of President Abraham Lincoln’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the first issuance of the Lincoln Cent. The 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Proof Set contains all of the one-cent coins issued in 2009 – Birthplace, Formative Years, Professional Life and Presidency, each with the San Francisco (S) mint mark. These coins have the exact metallic content as contained in the 1909 one-cent coin (95% copper, 5% tin and zinc). The reverses of the Lincoln Cent reflect four different designs, each one representing a different aspect, or theme, of the life of President Lincoln.
