The Lincoln Cent set from the 2009 Silver and 2009 Clad Proof sets are 100% identical. That is, the exact same coins, the exact same composition, and the exact same "US Flag" lens design!   |

Not sure if this is what you are asking, but not all of the coins in the Silver Proof Set are made of silver. Only the quarters, dime, and half are silver. The dollars, nickel, and cents are standard composition and thus are identical between the two sets (Clad and Silver).
In the case of the cents, the composition of the coins in the two sets are identical. There is absolutely no difference.

this is not true true on us mint website
clad sets contain 4 lincoln in bronze
silver proof Lincoln's are the composition of the original Lincoln's set
and finally what I was asking
clad being cast in bronze
and silver set being cast in original composition which would be more valuable to collectors

kenkat earlier post is true
I am a little confused by what you are asking.
The cents in the Silver Proof Set and the Clad Proof Set are identical in composition. 95% copper, 3% zinc and 2% tin.
Ken
and if you read from us mint on the 4 cents material is bronze I was told this by us mint

silver proof Lincoln's are the composition of the original Lincoln's set Bronze is the original composition of Lincoln cents! Or as they say down here, six in one hand, half dozen in the other.  From the Mint Website: "Lincoln Cents contain an alloy consisting of 95% copper, 3% zinc and 2% tin that matches the alloy used in the original 1909 version."From the Free Dictionary: "Bronze: A yellow or brown alloy of copper and tin, sometimes with small amounts of other metals such as lead or zinc."(Emphasis is mine.)

I think this thread could educate others as well, as I have seen others who thought since all the coins were in the Silver Proof Set that all the coins were in fact silver based coins. The only coins that are any different in the "Silver Proof Set" is the quarter, the half, and the dime the rest is exactly the same composition as the regular coins in the other proof set or even pocket change (just the way the dies are prepared is different in the proof version)

Unless you are talking about pocket change from 50-100 years ago. :) |

The Lincoln Cent in the Clad Proof and Silver Proof sets are the same, as far as composition. I would certainly "compare" the coins in each set to see if one is better than the other, ie I have 2 2009 sets and the Silver proof set for whatever reason has much nicer cameros than the Clad Proof set. |
