Yea, the bronze ones were in a set and maybe proof or mints, but not in circulation, good old copper. Peaches, you need a type set. If Dansco ever makes a new one. Or find one available now, hard, but possible. In the mean time, try another brand of album or folder to Mark Twain
peaches, do you know how hard it was for this 60 year old guy to stand on his head for your first pic? LOL.
There are 20 different versions of the 2009 cents. There are four designs and two compositions and come in these combinations 2009 P copper plated zinc in the four designs, these were made for circulation 2009 D copper plated zinc in the four designs, these were made for circulation 2009 P in 95% copper 5 % zinc in the four designs. these were mint set only 2009 D in 95% copper 5% zinc in the four designs. These were mint set only 2009 S in 95% copper 5% zinc in the four designs. These were in the proof sets and the special Lincoln Bicentennial set. So far I have seen exactly 4 of these coins in circulation, one log cabin, 2 formative years, and 1 of his professional life in IL.
Until this thread, I didn't know that they had issued 95% copper versions of these 4 cents. I have no idea how I missed this - kinda embarrassing. I do, however, have all 8 zinc ones gathered from change. Last night I bought the 2009 P and D uncirculated mint set (up to 16 now) AND then bought the 2009 US Mint Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Proof Set for the S-mints (now I have all 20!!!). Copper is good!
I already had the Proof set in OGP, but after reading this thread, last night I too broke down and bought the set in a NGC 4 coin holder in PF69. eBay is great for this type of purchase. There was a cool 4 coin holder available from a known and trusted seller, so I bought it. It will be my first set in multi-coin NGC holder.
Well I'm glad to had been of help to your new found information. I learned as well and found two more in my change
No actually a friend just gave me these nickel rolls cuzi just got home from surgery. Why???? What do I have
They're pretty much only worth face value. When those designs came out everyone thought they would be worth a lot. But they aren't really. So buying rolls like that didn't make much sense.
I will go with what everyone is guessing and what I believe to be Abe Lincloln's birth home. I remember reading this somewhere.
