A question on the 2010 pennies

Weren`t some of these supposed to be released with the original 1909 copper composition. If so, which set or was it the rolls and palin cicrculating coins.

    The 2009 "pennies" in Uncirculated US Mint sets and Proof sets were the original 1909 copper composition. The 2010's are back to the zinc alloy.

    IN other words, just plain junk.

    ...i believe you may be thinking of the decision to use the lincoln obverse design from the lincoln cent of 1909 on the

    2010 cent and forward. perhaps there is some confusion. image just a thought and no intention of implying that

    YOU are confused. image
