I am reading an article in Coin World and I don't know if I am reading this right but is there going to be a different metal composition for the 2009 cents for the circulating Lincolns and the mint set Lincolns?

Yes, the Proof and Mint Sets will contain 1909 composition cents (95% Cu, 5% Sn/Zn) while the rolls and business strikes will be the standard copper plated zinc.

Aaahh! So many varieties! I guess I will need to get them all...I stopped getting the new mint sets because I don't like the packaging and the coins are harder to remove.

This should really give companies like Whitman, Dansco, etc something to have a ball making pages for those in their Albums.
So, we have 4 different reverses, each has 2 different Mint marks (no P on them I hope), the S is only Copper I guess. There is the 4 different ones of Clad for circulation and 4 of the same in Copper as the old ones from the Mint. Now I'm getting a little lost here.
Anyone know how many different ones we will end up with. Shouldn't we also have a few large and small dates?
