I like pennies, but I don't know a whole lot about them. I still got a whole lot to learn.

In my opinion a complete set of 2009 Lincoln Cents contains all 20 coins.
Rest in Peace

I agree, a complete set would be 4 different P mint zinc coins, 4 different D mint zinc, 4 different P mint bronze, 4 different D mint bronze and 4 different S mint bronze, 20 coins total.

I agree. These aren't errors or anomalies. They are 20 distinct, intended varieties of the 2009 cent. Therefore, 20.

Regardless of the number of varieties out there, it comes down to, as it has been said before, what you want to collect. There is space for only 8 in certain albums, 4 in others. For completeness, I would include all 20 in my collection. Matter of taste/opinion.

I agree that there are 20 types of 2009 Lincoln Cents. Even if you deny that the satin finish coins are a separate type (from the normal business strikes), you have to admit that the 2009 satin finish Lincoln Cent coins are different from the 2009 business strikes (because of the composition).

Yes, it would take 20 coins to have a true "complete" Set of 2009 Lincolns...... no "if's", "and's", or "buts" about it whatsoever ! ....

However, top leading coin albums such as Dansco, do NOT have holes (or recognize) the "Satin Finish" differentiated from the normal business strike coins.
I think most people just stick their Satins in the holes along with the Proofs and just call it good though.

"Folders", (not recommended) I think do not have the "extra" holes either.

Correct. The mint sets included the bronze (95% copper) cents. Only the normal business strike were Zinc.

Glad most say that since I already put 20 of those in each Album. My pages are all blank so had to use those press on numbers/letters from Whitman and they don't have a Plated name. So under the Copper ones I put Copper and under the Plated ones I had to use Clad. It's my Album so makes no difference to me.

A complete 2009 cent collection should have all 20 coins.

I have a couple scattered sets of these, but I also wanted all 20 in one spot, so I assembled an extra set, all on a single 20 count binder page.
