OK, I'm getting real confused from what I'm hearing.

Can someone tell me straight which coin sets will contain the 95% copper Lincoln cents? Is it the mint set? the proof set? the silver proof set? just the special Lincoln set with the Lincoln dollar and the 4 cents? a combination of these sets ?

Has this been published anywhere ? I looked at the Mint site but could not find any info......I think it is there somewhere but I could not find it.

Thanks for any help !

All of the above

Both silver and Clad Proof sets will include Proof Versions
The Special Lincoln Set will include Proof Versions

The Uncirculated Mint set will include Uncirculated Versions
"uncirculated coins are struck on specially burnished blanks and feature a satin-like finish"

So the mint set are going to be different than normal business strikes?

So I am going to need to get the following

All 8 business strikes, 8 mint set versions, and 4 proof versions?

That is getting a little nuts. The mint is just trying to rape collectors.

I knew they had the SF finish, but they have been the same metal content. Now that is different too.

We are going to have to start weighing the 2009s in change like the dang 1982s :)

Oh my I can just see the HSN of these issues they will go crazy!

Yes I feel all three of these sets will become like the 1999 proof sets and double in value fast.

That will be allot of coins CRAP more money to spend now I know me and I will have to get allot of each of these sets guess I will get a couple each month not sure how many to get but this will be a good years to get extra sets that is for sure.

Is there set coming out with a limited issue of 50,000 sets only? I thought there was but haven't heard anything recently.

That's just messed up - all you have to buy to get it ALL are one proof set, one mint set, and eight cents that you could buy on ebay for less than $5 total once they are all out. If that seems like being 'raped' to you, I'm just glad I don't go grocery shopping with you!
