The BU ones will have a market, especially the LP4's as they were the smallest mintage. I roll search cents and 99% of the 2009's I find are in horrible condition. Zincs just don't hold up to much circulation at all.
Mint rolls/sets probably already carry a premium.

I would think any Zincoln penny, With Out Spotting, will command premiums in the future I'm surprised that there isn't a higher premium already |

http://www.pcgs.com/Articles/Detail/6422The Mint sold approximately 771,204 sets of the 2009 Uncirculated Mint Sets, which means that the Satin Finish 2009 Lincoln cents now have the second-lowest mintage in the Lincoln Cent series (for non-proof coins that are composed of mostly copper alloy). The four different 2009 Satin Finish Lincoln cents have an even lower mintage than the 1931-S Lincoln Cent! thats 771,204 sets, my bad

thats 771,204 = 192,801 in each design in satin copper ? I don't understand that. There were 771,204 sets sold that means 771,204 copper cents of each design from each mint. Edited by Conder101

If you are going to hold onto them and you see a jump in price I would offload them so that you don't miss out. When people realise they are finally commanding a premium heaps of those hoarded will be dumped on the market, ruining it.

Thanks, all. I'll see what I can turn up in way of double-die references and such.
In the meantime, if anybody wants some of these, I'd be happy to make a few nice single-image or mixed rolls to share at-price (so, 50 cents for a 50-cent roll). With people coin-hoarding in mind, I'm surprised how many I'm finding, although the fourth image is still a wicked tease and hard to find.

Soon enough people will start dumping the rolls of them that they've been hoarding. Then too, so many of the Unc Sets will be accidently spent similar to how Proofs get into change. Then in a few years, all the hipe about those will fade and the prices will do the same. Already the latest Red Book lists all of them as $0.30 each in MS-65. And if your trying to sell one, a lot less. |

I have a whole bunch of rolls, only cost me $0.50/roll, so I don't really care that much. But I think the highest prices have already been realized with a steady decline for the next many years.

Yep, I agree with that assessment.
Still, 8 rolls (one for each mint and variety) would only set you back $4 (face). I'm deciding if I'll keep my circulation finds or dump them and just shop for some reasonably priced UNC rolls.

if romantic = hoarder, then I agree.  Just kidding - I'm definitely that way too. |

I'm wondering if I could put together a few rolls and throw them on ebay for 75 cents each. Be upfront about the fact that they're culled from a change drawer but that I ditch anything that's in shoddy condition, and see what happens. . . . correction, "if I could put together a few rolls and sell them on ebay." That's the operative word, ne? |

I found a P Formative the other day in my wife's tips (she is a waitress)in Bright UNC condition except it is starting to show signs of those zinc spots. What can be done to prevent these spots from getting worse if anything? If I get UNC rolls of these coins how should I store them to prevent the spots from forming?

ninamason, why would you bother selling 50 cents worth of, uh...cents... for 75 cents? 25 cent profit per roll is no way to get rich quick. Unless you could do it thousands of times and your shipping fees negate the ebay fees. Even then, doesn't seem worth it to me. |
