<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1914239, member: 11854&quot;]The 2009 <i>copper</i> business strike Lincoln cents.&nbsp; These were only available within the 2009 US Mint Sets and that set sold less than a million units (perhaps 750K).&nbsp; This makes the coin a very scarce, in terms of mintage and relatively speaking, Lincoln cent.&nbsp; The Lincoln cent series is avidly collected, the post-Wheat cent sub-section is a series that is long, but affordable to most collectors in high grade and filling Dansco/Whitman albums with Lincoln cents is still wildly popular and a great entry set for younger numismatists who might wish to finish the set in higher grades when they have more money.&nbsp; These coins may also be viewed as a separate type because of the metallic change and various reverse designs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, the 2009 Lincoln cents have various reverses that might be considered a distinct subtype; they are part of the most popular album filling set produced; their original mintage was relatively low; and they could only be found in US Mint Sets and this means that folks will have to buy them instead of finding them in change.&nbsp; I like the long-term legs on these coins, especially if Whitman and Dansco incorporate holes denoted for the copper pieces in their albums.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
