I don't remember seeing any topic addressing the 2009 coins in general. What I was wondering was since 2009 appears to be such a lean years as far as the population of the general mintings what I the concensus of opinion as to what the future value of these coins. Would you guess that because of the general low mintings that the prospect of future rarity of these coins and hence future value would be better than other modern circulating clad coins? Whenever I have come across a coin of this year I have set them aside, no matter what they may look like. I'm not sure if this approach is ill advised but I think that the minting population seems to warrant it. The same approach I'm taking with any coin that I come across that is in better condition (especially pennies). I really don't know what to make of the Presidential dollar coins. They truly haven't hit my fancy. |

With all modern coins I think only the higher grades will bring a premium in the years to come and that could even take a while. Anything in circulated condition the mintages are just to high for our standard coins imo unless your looking for like 70 years down the line for your kids

While there are relatively fewer 2k9 coins than than contemporary counterparts, they still number in the billions. Like basebal21 said, no premium except for perhaps the higher grades.
That said, I set aside almost all the 2009s I get if they're in decent shape. I still haven't gotten a full tube of 2009P nickels or all the Lincoln varieties.

I dunno I kinda think the higher grades are gonna be very available..ala the 1883 no cent nickels....many,many high grades were saved. They were almost immediately recognized as potential keys....IMO

Agreed, amida17. Especially with the special Lincs - I'm sure a ton were saved.

I agree with that too, its just if anything would have a premium itd be the gems. Because of the lower mintage a large part of me thinks the 09 will end up being the easiest to find in a high grade with how many will be saved

We're all saying the same thing, I think. Allow me to paraphrase: 2009 US coins, while having relatively low mintage numbers compared to their contemporary counterparts, still have mintage #'s in the billions overall and won't ever command a premium. Except, possibly, for the high-grade specimens. Even then... not sure. I suppose we also have to consider the Zincolns corroding and finding high-grade examples of those. I like your current avatar, basebal. I never get tired of that! |

I agree were all saying the same thing.
Thanks, I love the RP look. I think the RP is the best decision the mint has made in a long time if not the best ever. I would love to see an RP mint set personally

RP is the sh...tuff. Love it. Love it! IMO the most interesting US Mint concept in a long time. I'd like to know who came up with it so I could personally thank them. Are we at 3 ASE RPs now? 4? 2006, 2011 and 2012? any others? What would it take to get standard issues in RP? Obviously too late for the 2009's but... I think there are lots of current coins that would really do well with the RP treatment. Whoops, straying off topic. Sorry. I think the 2009's Lincolns would look great in RP. Heck, I think any coin would look good RP. But the ASE RP is absolutely gorgeous! |

 Amen lol. We are at 3 silver RPs right now and some of the gold eagles have been in RP too not sure how many. I hope they can figure out a way to get the standard issues into an RP. RP kenndy half would be amazing, would have loved to seen an old RP nickel design too but the new one would be interesting. The 09 lincoln designs would have been great candidates for an RP too |

Polk Pres $1 41,720,000 46,620,000
Taylor Pres $1 36,680,000 41,580,000
The main ones to be aware of are the nickel and dime mintages. Even saved in the millions, they will still carry a premium higher than other years, simply for the fact that they aren't seen in circulation, so the perception will be that they are rare and will cost more. Hence it'll drive up their price for many years to come. They won't be as high as in 2009, but they will carry a higher premium than other years. And I think that is what the OP was looking for. I just wish the formatting was better in that table. Edited by wquinn
