The 2009 Lincoln cents have low mintages Compared to the billions that had been made recently they do have a lower mintage but I still wouldnt call them a low mintage. The lowest one still has over 300 million and 3 of the 4 are over 600 million. I agree with you and doug though, so moderns only the top grades will carry significant premiums. WAY too many of the uncirculated ones are getting hoarded for these to appreciate just for being uncirculated |

I find the coins interesting and like the designs. I've been hoping to find a 2009 silver annual proof set at a discount closer to the current Mint price to get those coins. But I'm sure I will wait awhile for this to happen.
I can't find those coins in good shape in circulation. I put aside a few when I can though.
Its funny that I can find lightly browned pennies from the 60-70s in very good shape but the recent offerings are usually way too scratched up.
Probably from the make up of the coin, I guess. but its a little disturbing that these new coins are so easily mutilated.

I believe the "Presidency" P, ones(LP 4)have a mintage of under 300,000,000! The lowest in many,many,many years of the Lincoln Cent. Also,the LP 2's will RISE in price.Just wait and see.ESP.Wex.#6 Skeleton finger.The end rolls are the best to watch for.-joey  |

I keep them because I like their designs. Although I am letting the ones in bad condition slip past.

The acrylic tubes I save my 2009's in are worth more than (face value of) the contents. But I think it's cool to save the good ones.
Now, where I'm at (central Texas), I can rarely find any Philadelphia mint 2009s at all, let alone in good condition, so I save all of those.
Plus, 8 tubes of cents don't take up that much room.

I have a hard time believing that much of are circulation coinage is going to be worth anything in 40 years, but with what the stuff from the past is worth you never really know.

You can always pick up the 2009 proof penny lens. The proofs are around 90% copper as suppose to the normal zinc pennies.

Some people get excited and hold/report them simply because they don'see them very often, This has been a very good week for me, I got my second LP1 and my first LP3. That brings me up to 5 2009 cents I've seen so far. and those were the first ones I've seen in three years.

I've see more of the 2012/2013 cents more often than the 2009 cents.

The last box of cents I went through had 20 or so of the 2009's. At least three of each and that's about average for the five boxes I have gone through. I noticed right off the bat that the 2009's were few and far between in these boxes. Three were String boxes and two were unidentified. I have also found a lot of uncirculated coins from the 70's and early 80's and there was even a 1955 that was in new condition. A 1965 SMS cent and a 1982 proof were also found. It seems that there are people breaking up mint sets and spending the coins at face value. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

Just got a BU 2009-D LP3 in change today.
In the summer of 2009, Denver was swamped with LP3 Cents. I saved several hundred BU examples from my change, and I also picked up two boxes of them from Wells Fargo for face value.

Maybe you should hold on to some, just like people held on to and hoarded the 1909 VDB. That's why you can still find BU 1909 VDB's to this day. Your great grand children may profit from your 2009's.

Just like all 1983P & 1983D cents that I weigh:
I also weigh every 2009 I find on the possibility that someone broke open a Mint set and dumped the coins in circ.
2009 Mint and Proof Set Lincoln Cents are COPPER!

2009 pennies in circulation, now junk, but don't forget they made 20 different pennies that year. 8 were for circulation (high mintages), and mint sets had the 8 different copper versions, then the 4 proofs, pretty unique year for the penny.
