TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4867 Posts	Posted 07/25/2009 11:25 am 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?

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 12:25 pm 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? Report this Post to the Staff
