It is in this set only as far as I know.There are other sets but this is the package I have that has it.Other sets for an uncirculated 2010 cent are non magnetic I think.

100% confirmed! The 2010 set pictured contains specification info for the penny which say:

two-ply copper finish plated steel.

AND....I put a magnet to it for confirmation.

Definitely magnetic.

These can be found on ebay if not at internet coin sellers.

I'm not able to sell on this site until I have 250 posts. I wouldn't want to sell for lower than $50 anyway.ðŸ'¹

I paid $45 for the penny on ebay last month (mint)including shipping. I browsed for a time and they never seemed to go for much under $40 and often over $50.

I had a quick look at my books. I have it written down as 2010 and 2012 bu sets for $52 total. (includes shipping) I'm not 100% sure how much I paid for each one but I'm counting the 2012 as $20. The seller was bel-kirkstamps or at least that's what I have on file.

They did NOT make millions of them and put it into circulation.
Only available in certain sets of which I believe were made in the thousands, not millions.
