* Bronze (1909-1942, 1947-1958), Brass (1944-1946). During 1944-1946, wartime shell casings were used which were mainly brass, but there was a trace of tin present. Thus you may see these referred to as either brass or bronze, or you may see no distinction made at all.

What about Proof versions for the type set?

 

I don't make a "type" distinction for proofs, satin finishes, uncirculated, circulated, etc. Just my preference.

 

@CoinCorgi
Memorial
Bronze: 1959-1962 (95% copper, 2.5% zin, 2.5% tin)
Brass: 1962-1982 (95% copper, 5% zinc)

• So, you need a Bronze example
• And an example of a Wheatie, not a VDB, that is

​

Plus, I have really not nice ones of all of those
Joke: What about those aluminum cents???

 

I do have bronze 2009 cents, but they are part of mint sets. I do want to bust open a set and take a bronze example out and replace the zinc 2009 I have now in my type set. For now, my 1909 VDB bronze will be my bronze Lincoln type.

 

Neither for Enhanced Uncirculated either

 

Bronze for memorial
Bronze, not wheat, NON-VDB

 

aka satin finish right? No, I don't make the "type" distinction for strike type, nor grade. I drew the line at composition I guess and kept the occasional "variety" (i.e vdb).

 

I get it now...you want a 1959-1962 bronze memorial example included...hmmm.

 

No, I mean the 2017-s enhanced uncirculated, not satin finish

 

Um...I'll look that one up...must have missed it...thanks.

 

Ah...more mint rubbish. As stated, I am not concerned about the various strikes/finishes.

Ahh. I see you are bumping this thread to get a higher post count.

 

BUMP, love the Flying Eagles Cents.
