"I just got a 2007 non-magnetic cent. Woohoo!"
How? In change, rolls, or did you buy it?

Nice purchase TheForce - I suspect it's good to get yours now rather than wait for them to get more expensive!
Still no luck finding 2009 non-magnetic here in Western Canada. The 2010s are out though!

I am bringing back this thread because I would like to know how the situation concerning the 2009 zinc 1 cent is at the end of 2010.
---are they still rare or very rare to be found in circulation?
---(in other words, are the magnetic ones still in the majority or the vast majority?)

So far I am still finding a lot of zinc in circulation.I haven't compared my finds.But just taking a wild guess,I would say some weeks 2 zincs to every steel and other weeks the opposite.
I think I will start keeping count and post my findings later on.

I went through the box of pennies and penny jar and came up with 9 non-magnetic 2009 pennies. That should be about 50 rolls from the bank and about 30 rolls in the piggy bank. I did not however come across a non-magnetic 2007. I think the non-magnetic 2007 is the coin to get. There were both non-magnetic and magnetic 2006 logo pennies. I am keeping an interest in the 2006P magnetic pennies. I have a couple of them. I do not have the 2006, no P or mint mark mangetic penny. Looking forward to the day I find one. Good luck to everyone looking.

(Any 2010 production dated 2009 is not public yet, but this is usually negligible.) That roughly agrees with what I find in circulation. About 1 in every ten or twelve 2009 cents is non-magnetic. They aren't very scarce and will carry almost no premium. It's like the 2006 no-P, no-logo nickel: a lot of hype, but now just face value.  |

@bibd:
Thank You very much for the highly interesting information.
Were the production figures which you mentioned posted online? I just found the 455 Mio. number on the mint's web-site

I got my info from the mint's 2009 Annual Report. It's under "corporate information", I believe, on the site.
There are pages upon pages of bureaucrap, but somewhere in there is the production data!

I checked my 2009 pennies and have both the magnetic and non magnetic 2009 coins. Thanks for the info.

The topic that never ends... late into 2010! On Wednesday I received my first 2009 zinc cents as change from what appeared to be a fresh mint roll in a cash register. Now if they were dated 2007, I would have begged and pleaded to buy the whole roll!

Gee, I just found this thread on 2009 zinc cents. Well I am a few years late to help out on this topic but for those of you who would be interested I can say only this now. I am the seller who listed the first 2009 zinc cent on ebay which sold for 85 bucks. I hope the buyer of the coin doesn't read this thread, he may want his money back. I actually had 6 boxes of mint 2009 zinc cents during the initial selling frenzy back in feb/mar 2010. I have sold a large part of the coins now but hold onto quite a bit for the inventory. I wish I was a member of this forum back then, I could have calmed some nerves in the early goings. *** Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules about selling coins that you agreed to when you registered. *** |
