I live in Maryland. It struck me by chance. It almost went in the change jar because I'm done rolling 2010's. Just saw the shield and immediately thought it was a 2010 lol... Not the nicest coin, but good enough for me.

The 2011's are much nicer than the 2010's. Bman sent me 6 rolls and I found a 67 after opening only 2 of them! The spotting is much less than in the past. Also seems to be less strike issues, but some coins showed weakness in the top of the head and around the top, reverse mottos. The 67 I found had a perfectly struck reverse and just a little weakness in the top of the head....but it was almost hit-free.

Any ideas of what they're doing differently this year? The mint is interesting in that they develop and make their own metalworking fluids. Being in the industry I can tell you that's VERY rare. Most places buy metalworking fluid from companies like mine and simply dilute it using water. All I can postulate is that they have changed with stamping fluid and/or their final rinse solution and/or they have changed over to using deionized water to reduce the calcium/magnesium (hardness) levels. It could also be that prior to starting up for 2011 they thoroughly cleaned their sumps and other equipment prior to a fresh charge of metalworking fluid. Metalworking fluids are very complex and so is the usage parameters. It would take me a text book worth of typing to even start to explain it all. The best clue I could get is from talking to my suppliers. Sometimes they let out that the mint is using certain products of theirs. That's how I figured out the ReAcT2â„¢ ingredient in VERDI-CAREâ„¢. They may have changed up their anti-corrosion chemical package. There's really no way to tell! But they have definately improved cause the 2011 cents I have look way better than the 09's or the 10's. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

So Bad, since you are what you are in the Cent world (insert awesome word here), do you foresee spotless 09 and 10 cents to be valueable? OR are there still so may of them that they won't hold a huge premium?

I haven's seen any 2011 cents in circulation and I live in a highly populated area (Seattle, WA) I found plenty of the 2010 cents last year though. I'm sure that the 2011s will turn up here sooner or later.

Took me until January this year to find my first 2010 quarter in circulation... So you'll get them eventually.

Spotless, well-stuck and free of hits coins are always worth a premium. I'm always seeking high-grade Zincolns because they are scarce. Most of them have issues like spotting, strike, MDS to LDS, etc. I have a complete set of slabbed MS-67 2009's but they aren't going to ever be big dollar coins...so no huge premium. I don't think any of the modern coins will ever have a "huge premium" because of the mintages and they are widely hoarded. Nonetheless, you should ALWAYS seek out the ultra-gem Zincolns! You should see my Zincoln roll set, it's like no other because every single coin is a hand-picked gem.  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

I haven't worked up the urge to do a roll set yet. I can imagine them not bringing a premium too because it seems like NGC and PCGS throw out MS67 and 68's at them a lot now. Not saying that they aren't worth it, but I think like you said - there are just that many of them.
I could imagine the MS68's still bringing a premium. Probably more so now then in the future.
