Where are all the 2009 and 2010 Lincoln Cents??

dtkk49a

Can someone post the mintage figures for 2009 Lincolns? The only 2009's I saw in any number were Formative year cents, never saw any others in circulation. I am assuming they are being hoarded in great quantities. Because of this, I am guessing any errors, double dies, etc might not be found for sometime.

Looking at the 2009 figures, you would think these coins would be more prevelent then they are.

I saw a bunch for sale at a show for 25 to 50 cents each.

So the dealers must have all of them.....

I have yet to see all four 2009 designs circulating here in AR. and only a total of 3 or 4 individual pieces of the ones I have seen. I'd be willing to wager that a very large portion of the American public doesn't even know they exist.

Your quite correct you know , you'd win that bet.

So where are these coins? Can that many be hoarded?

MsMorrisine

I found a couple of cabins and rail sitters in a $25 box while roll searching.

I bought a few Pro and Pres off a couple of bank tellers, too. (no 2010s found in circ. yet for me, tho)



rub rub rub...... some are already out there with the billions of others.

uuummmm..i know where 40 rolls of them are , ive seen a few in change.The one place i get lp3 regular in change is the post office.The only one ive not seen in circulation is lp1.

I had read somewhere that the mints had plenty of older dates in inventory yet to distribute to banks, and they were to slow production of the 2010 cent, and slowed the distribution of the 2009/2010 cents. It was part of an article that talked about the new design. I can believe this...

Furthermore, if yout think about it, no way can a coin with such high mintage (2009 or 2010) be successfully hoarded.

Hello,

The teller at my local bank offered me rolls of the log splitter cents yesterday. I bought three rolls and opened one roll. IF you can overlook the spots the quality is very good.

The other two rolls joined the accumulation....

Here in Syracuse - I get a 2009 about every other day. actually getting too many of them.

it seems this area always get new pennies early but i haven't seen any 2010's yet.

i've used this picture before but during the summer you could find them on the side of the road
if that shows yah how many are around. i can't wait until the snow melts . LOL !!!!

ricko

I received my first 2009's in change in Louisville, KY, during my Navy ship's reunion. I had not seen any more in circulation until a few weeks ago. Then received two more yesterday at the grocery store. No 2010's yet. Cheers, RickO

.....WOW!! and spot free too!!!!

JamesMurray

I wouldnt get my hopes up , even the denver 2010 cents are spotty this time around.

moonshine

this is one thing that irritates me, and has calmed down my coin collecting. Not going to over pay for a penny anymore. It's ridiculous.

pf70collector

The LIncoln Presidency P is only 129 million which is the lowest of all four designs. Whether the gems will have value depends on how many will be lost to circulation.

JamesMurray

This was the best of 2 rolls , the photo doesnt show all the spotting , but enough.Its like it got sprayed with coca cola or something.

tahoe98

....we need some experimenting done on these spotted dogs to see if something actually takes the lousy looking spots

off without damaging the coins. i don't have any, otherwise i'd head to the lab. maybe we could ask congress for

a couple of bucks of stimulus money for the project! no more wasteful than any of their other programs. they

still have dough from the first spending spree they could use!

An excellent question! It is early April and to date I have received a single Formative Years P in change. There's lots of ugly Zincolns in circulation, just no 2009's or 10's. I have actually considered not collecting Cents by date any more and just including an example of each 2009 and one of the 2010. That is IF I ever get them in change.

I'am one of the lucky one's and rec my boxs of ea one in 2009 and 2010. I'll just put them up for now. I see a lot here in So Cal I pull them when I see them just to do it.

You need to make a trip to the COINSTAR machine.

I got two of the 2010-d shields in change the other day down here in Austin. First I've seen of them in circ.

Trebor

Hey, Type2! Are all those boxes (55?) still stacked neatly?

Type2

Yup, I dont know how long I can keep this up. I'am Running out of room. The bags are the hard one to keep in shap but some one needs to do it.

droopyd

I got 3 shield cents in change in L.A. today.

johnny9434

it took me 8 months to get any of the 09s last year wtf, i can wait for it again this year if it takes that. i still havent found any rolls yet of any thing for 09 and 10

Don't forget, the only place you can get a 95 percent copper 2009 lincoln cent (or rather all 8 uncs) is in the 2009 Uncirculated Set. Less than a million of those produced. I bought mine early as I think they will end up being pricy in a couple of years.

I agree with you. The 2009-S Proof cents should also do well.

Obiwancanoli

Two days ago, I found my first 2009 Birthplace cent... got it in change from a local favorite restaurant...

That's exactly how I found the logsplitter and statesman cents, and so far, have found only one of each... I'm still looking for the last of the four, but haven't seen any of the shield cents yet...
