Has anyone else noticed that some 2009 pennies are getting harder to find? I normally find the early life one in the same ratio or less than I do wheat pennies. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

1. Dilution with coins
2. Searchers hoarding them

Same as silver or any other coin

yeah I've noticed. alot of them have errors, which I think is why theyre so hard to find now. now that I think about it I have yet to come across the last one, I've never seen it until I googled it. out of 2200 pennies, I only have 5 of Lincoln reading a book and like 3 of the log cabins.

I am still coming up with 2009 pennies on a normal basis. I do think they will become harder to find as Shield pennies become more common.

The only 2009 pennies I come across on a very limited basis (like 2 out of the last 30 rolls I have searched) are the unfinished Capitol dome pennies.

I actually found a 2009 log cabin one today. I normally find Lincoln with the capitol behind him a little more. Maybe 5 out of $30.

Not to change the topic but what errors are found on the log cabin and what mint release is it.

I was wondering the same thing as John. Exactly what kind of errors were found on the 2009 pennies
