The Mint Website Product Schedule shows that the "2009 Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Proof Set" will be available on August 26th. (I hear the sound of thousands of people kicking themselves,
because they broke the full Clad Set just to get the Cents!)Edited by DNA

I hope this doesn't "take the place" of the "Special Lincoln Set" with the Linc. Comm. Dollar !!
And I already have several 2009 Proof Sets with these Lincolns in there so....... I don't need this set !

The Mint is producing too much duplication. They should only have the regular proof set, the Silver Set should only have silver coins.
Then they could reduce the cost of the Silver set since it will not have the dollars, nickel and cent.

Any idea as to what the Mint is going to charge for this?
Pricing could make the 2009 regular clad set still a good deal.
Any risk that the US Mint would pull the 2009 regular clad set before this one goes on sale or pricing is released?
I want the proof cents but not sure if I want the full proof set.
Duplication does make the decision a bit difficult.

the way lincoln dollars are selling, it might be worth it to buy the special lincoln set just for the lincoln dollar

I'd bet that it'll be $14.95, just like the Clad Proof Quarter Set and the Presidential dollar Proof Set (both of which are included in the full Clad Proof Set!). Quote:
kena: "Pricing could make the 2009 regular clad set still a good deal." The full Clad Set was a good deal already. The two individual sets above are $14.95 each ($29.90), so for five Cents more than those two individual Sets, you get eight more Proof coins in the full Clad Set (4 Copper Cents, 5¢, 10¢, 50¢, Native American $1). |

bill069 "The Silver Set should only have silver coins." That makes too much sense, this is government work that we're talking about here...  Quote:

Or, Why not an All-Silver Proof set, with everycoin from the Lincoln Cent to the Presidential dollars made with 90% Silver planchets, in Proof Finish?! That would be a showstopper!  Edited by DNA

 If you want a show stopper, how about a proof error set! The Mint would only supply a 100 sets and they would be sold by lottery.  |

I just broke open a proof set to sell the proof lincolns, however
I also sold the nickels and quarters to different buyers.
As long as I break even.

bill069:"how about a proof error set!" Something like the "No-S Proof Set" that I Photoshopped as a joke for wheezydog?   Ironically, I have a real 2009 "No-S" Native American Proof Dollar, still in the original lens, in my Clad Proof Set! Its edge lettering is so weakly stamped that only 'E Pluribus Unum' is visible to the naked eye. The '2009' shows very faintly with a 16× loupe, but there's no discernible "S" next to it... How about 1000 "No-S" Proof Sets, sent out randomly, to fill Proof Set orders? Edited by DNA
