Guilty. I was working retail when we got a two-box shipment of log splitters fresh from the mint. I was able to snag about $17 in unbroken rolls, plus about $6 in cabins. I would say they will be worth a little bit at some point in the future, but the degree to which they are being hoarded will likely have a significant impact on the premium that uncirculated pieces will bring.

I'm one of those who do roll searching looking for the '82 and prior pennies. I've searched over 80 boxes and have only come across maybe 500 2009 pennies total. That is in both good and bad shape. In that time time I've found over 1k wheat back coins.

Something is definitely going on with the 2009 pennies. Out of the 4 coins (both mints) I've found less than 50 coins that remember the presidential years. Something is definitely going on. Some people say that the Fed still has a lot of these coins in its vaults (along with the presidential coins). I don't know what to believe. I do believe that the truth probably is a little bit of coins in the vault thing and a little bit of people saving them.

I don't know what to believe, but the end result is that there are not a lot of 2009 pennies out there. I'm only finding lately maybe less than 10 in a box, and sometimes I don't find any.

Eventually, something is going to bust loose and we are going to be finding beau coup of these coins in circulation. Whenever that happens I hope the coins will still be in good shape.

I held on to any I found between 2009-2010ish. I stopped mid-2010 and haven't kept any since. The only reason I stopped was because the 2009's I was pulling weren't in good enough condition.

It's 2012 and I'm still finding people selling AU and BU rolls of 2009 pennies at face value or at just a very small premium.

I think a lot of small time collectors thought these were going to explode and that's why they were pulled from circulation. We'll probably see them make their way back into circulation just like the 59's did.

I'm just starting out and starting pulling the 09s as well. I'm getting more wheats than 09s. Perhaps 2 or 3 to 1.

I've got a cup for Wheet a cup for copper a cup for 09s and a cup for the rest. Any other coins worth sorting out?

I used to collect antique milk creamers to use as planters (What? IT LOOKS SO COOL), and I have an oversize one, the kind you might use for a family of eight or so, ready to overflow with 2009s. That's in addition to about two museum tubes' worth (the really, REALLY nice ones I'm keeping for me), roughly half a tube each of all four kinds. Erm, but I work at a gas station, though. So . . . yeah.


I'm thinking I might just sell them by the pound on the Bay or something.

For different versions leads to four times as many being collected for 2009.

Reason for Edit: grammar

I am finding them in decent condition about 5 to 1 versus the Wheaties. The only ones I kept, are the rolls issued here in Springfield at the Old State Capital on the day of release with the stamp from the PO on them. They had a limit of 2 per person, but my sons were with me, so I got 6. They each got one, I got one, and my nephews got one. Easily the best 50 cents I have spent on coins.
