Not a nickel but I did find a 2009 D dime on the ground the other day.

I've found 7 or 8 of them in my last 2 boxes...both P & D. VERY circulated condition. I'm not really envisioning the future value or my effort....but I think i'll try to make a roll of each mint and re-evaluate my view at that time. Typically, D mints are most common for me here in Kansas for any coin, so it will prolly take an eternity for my P roll. But...I'm committed now. But I still feel like it's a waste of time and effort, at least in the condition I'm finding them...  (Maybe the 2009 will be the 1950-D in 30 years ?) Edited by eaglefoot

I save them all... to date I have 3 2009-P's and approximately 55 2009-D's. The vast majority of mine are XF/AU... I have around 10 Uncirculated ones.

Eagle - over a roll of 2009P and 25 or so 2009D. Only a handful of either are high grade and most are the garden variety circulated coinage. It's very difficult finding nice specimens. The best of course are in albums or folders and the rest in tubes. Kind of curious to see how many I can find in XF or better.

HMM. I don't keep them. I do keep all 2009 Lincolns I can find, and I recently found a 2005 Jefferson with a buffalo on the reverse(never seen one before), but don't keep the 2009 Jeffersons.
Should I be? Why are they worth keeping over other years?

The mintage numbers are EXTREMELY low for the 2009 Jefferson (both p&d)
The 2009 Lincoln, however, is not worth keeping EVERY one you find, at all. If you come across a BU example of one of the 4 different designs, then yeah, I can't help myself. But overall, no reason whatsoever to be keeping all 2009 Lincolns.
And your 2005 Buffalo is one of the "Westward Series" nickel designs....same as your 2009 Lincoln....no reason to be keeping all those either.
Now, if you want to build a Westward Series folder from circulation or a circulated set of the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial coins...then yeah.

MontCollector, Maybe is the answer. Here's how I look at it: 1942P - 49.8M(nickel) 1942D - 13.9M 1951P - 28.6M 1951D - 20.5M 2009P - 39.8M 2009D - 46.8M Using RedBook values, we might extrapolate that VF/XF coins might be worth $0.25-0.40 in 60 years and MS63 coins migh be worth $3. But like it was in 1950, folks hoarded MS coins in 2009 so $3 might be a reach. I think this because the 1942D nickels weren't hoarded like the 1950D, and although the 1950D was a sixth of 1942D mintage, the 1942D, in higher states, are worth significantly more (as with the 1939D). So why keep 2009's? I suppose it's because of the artificial scarcity. Since we see so few it seems logical to cull them out. But it might be we are falling victim to the typical paradigm and refusing logic; these aren't rare finds and to buy a high state specimen for your collection readily affordable for under a dollar. Same is true of any coin minted in 2009. That said, I've only ever gotten one dime from 2009 in change over 7 years. Crazy! Edited by Rackster

I agree Eagle - the relative scarcity has the coin collecting community a bit perplexed. The Lincolns from 2009, while low individually by RDV, are still in the billions. Billions is a common mintage for recent years. But Dimes and Nickels are throwback mintages to an earlier time. Much earlier. So by virtue, they will be (and are) harder to find especially because of the hoarding that took place in 2009. I think that's what makes the scarcity, artificial in the sense of the word 'scarcity', but given how many sit in a sock drawers across the country, circulation finds are relatively scarce.

Montcollector.... I should mention, that I secured p&d BU rolls of each of the 4 different designs of the 2009 Lincoln, from the US Mint directly when they came out. As well as the Uncirculated Sets contains the Copper ones, Proof sets, and Silver proof sets. And bought the individual sets containing them. And secured each design in BU from circulation in coin tubes...  But....you mentioned just saving EVERY circulated business strike that you find.... "that" has no value or reason whatsoever, imo. And the Westward Series nickels (2004 & 2005) are in the same camp of reasoning....imo. RacksterYeah...I agree. Modern rarity is the the term with the 2009 dimes & nickels....future long term value is the debate with an unknowable result (until we are dead and gone prolly)...

I save every 2009 Jefferson I find. Along with every pre-60. I have them all in date rolls. I currently have 8 rolls of 09-D and 4 rolls of 09-P. I'm on the West Coast and have a deal with a friend that runs trucks through the mid-west and back East. Every time he runs a load, I have him pick up some coin for me. Mainly just Nickels and Halves. Typically about $5k about every 3 months.
I have some back issues and haven't searched for some time. But he asks me every time he makes a trip.

I've only searched one box of nickels over the last few years, and found 4. I have found a few in pocket change as well.

If they were easy to find, then there'd be no reason to save them....best way to look at it... |

The 2009 Denver coins seem a lot easier to find out here on the West Coast than the 2009 Philadelphia coins. In almost 60,000 nickels, I have found 3 Phillys and about 70 Denvers.
