<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 789359, member: 21782&quot;]<span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Ah, but the mintage of the 2008&#039;s will probably be lower than the 2009&#039;s. And yes, the surface strike of the coin is a bigger deal than the composition. The satin finish coins are easily recognized by their finish, which sets them apart as a variety, even sans the 95% copper, with a bullion value of a little over a penny. Even so, the 2009 bronze composition will create added demand. </font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Additionally, the 2008 satins are the lowest mintage (aside from Mint errors) of the Lincoln Memorial Series, which closed with the 2008 issues. The 2008&#039;s are already selling for more than the 2009&#039;s. I understand the theory behind the 2009&#039;s, 95% copper and bicentennials and I&#039;m buying those too, but covering my bases with the probable winner of the satin mintage and the already winner of the Lincoln Memorial Series, the 2008&#039;s, with a mintage of approximately 745,000. </font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">I&#039;m not promoting the 2009&#039;s because I&#039;d hate to say anything that may increase sales, not that anyone&#039;s listening. lol So, if you&#039;re buying 2009&#039;s, get them off eBay or wherever, just not from the mint - then, maybe, but unlikely, the 2009&#039;s have a chance at being the mintage winner for the satins. Of course this all hinges on whether or not The Mint continues the satins - if it does, the mintage winner could be somewhere in the future, either way the satins are all low mintage for a mint product that&#039;s part of the circulating series. .</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">200 sets? Actually, I own 10% of the 2008 and about 8% of the 2009 mintages and they won&#039;t be on the market again until the price gets to where I want it. - lol, just kidding.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
