Also, a factor in the relative rarity is that the total mintage is split between 4 varieties. so approximately 1/4 of the total for each variety. In 2008, almost 2 billion each for P and D, and in 2010, over 2 billion each for P and D.
Add up all 4 types for 2009 and you are around 1.1 billion for P mint and 1.2 billion for D mint. So with each type between 200 million and 360 million, much less common, but not rare by any means.

Well I would if I found any. (I've actually found four of them so far. An LP1, 2 LP2, and an LP3).
One of the resons you aren't seeing that many is because a lot of people are saving them, which will keep them from ever being worth much. A significant portion of the entire mintage is squirrel away making the survival percentage for this date very high.

I only keep 2009 cents if they are uncirculated with no spots or major problems.

No need to save them unless you're putting together a high-grade roll set. The only one's I'd consider is the LP4, they are the lowest mintage of the 4.

I dont search them out as I was able to get boxes of them when they came out. I was lucky to be at the release for LP3 also. There are so many hoarded it may be cheaper, when taking into consideration you time, to just buy some rolls.

Like most folks here, I only keep the nice ones, which hasn't amounted to much over the past 6 years.

I don't think I've seen any since 2009 or maybe 2010. I saved those ones and I likely would save any if I came across them now.

My opinion ... save all of them if they appeal to your collecting interest ...
Realize of course that with over 1 Billion minted they will never appreciate in value ... except the true rare MS67 and better examples.
I put a few aside when first found ... 2009/2010 ... will likely release them back into the wild.
