I started hunting Lincoln cents about a year ago in hopes of collecting some nice 2009 coins to put away without having to pay a premium. I'm kinda shocked that after searching over 60K coins, I have only found 25 of the Presidential coins. I found 16 Philadelpia coins and 9 of the Denver coins. I think some regions may have had more of them than others but that quantity seems extremely low.
Does anyone know where they are?

I haven't had a problem finding them.  At work, I pull 2 or 3 2009 BU pennies per day. |

I see them on occasion myself, but honestly I think the new shield cents have drowned out the overall population of 2009s.

Just to be clear, the 4th coin of the series. The first 3 coins of the series are plentiful.

If not...erm...sorry! I find a few non-keeper coins per week. If there is obvious wear or damage, they go back into circulation. Funny that this topic popped up just as I was stapling several of them into 2 x 2s.  Edited by Afterimage

I was asking the op, but nothing to be sorry for. the more the merrier.
I find around 20 keepers a box and about that same number of rejects(im kind of picky). I'd estimate maybe 4 of the 20 will be the 4rth coin in the series on average.

In a box I find many LP1, LP2 & LP3. Very few if any LP4.

I find very very few of them as well. The question still remains where are they?

with afterimage and I apparently. I don't know where he is from but I'm from the fox valley area in middle Wisconsin. the bank I usually go to has loomis and nr strings and sons and one that doesn't have any names on the box or rolls just value amounts and results are pretty consistent between them all.

i have found hundreds of UNC log cabin ones but very few presidential, not sure why. maybe they are being hoarded, or maybe there is a bunch of them in a US Mint vault somewhere

I rarely find them in change in SoCal.

I used to regularly find all 4 types in change but in the last month I maybe have found only a half dozen.

Funny enough, I had a customer pay in rolled coins yesterday, one of them was a solid roll of AU-UNC presidential cents. I of course, swapped it for 50 cents.

In 2009 I found an LP1 and an LP2. In 2010 I found another LP2. About a month ago I found an LP3. That's all so far. Five years four coins.
