2009 uncirculated coin set - just received in. Not Bad

I just received my 2009 Uncirculated coin P & D coin set. The uncirculated copper pennies, to me, look better than the copper proofs. I was a little surprised on that. This summer, I had to send my 2009 silver proof coin set back for an exchange due to the pennies looking like crap and the Kennedy half having a scratch on the face profile. All of the other uncirculated coins looked good as well.

I hope mine look that good.

Did your set have any DDR's

.......glad to hear that!
Upon first look, I don't believe I have any DDR's.
.........don't forget to check for DDO's also.

Just checked. I don't think I have any. Oh well.
This one will be going back.

I must say I was overall satisfied with the quality of the sets. I do think the note about the Lincolns is very strange/interesting. Makes me wonder how these things are going to "tarnish" over time. Anyone find anything interesting? I know another member found some DDR's on the Formative Years Lincolns but I haven't heard much of anything else.
We scanned a large number of 2009 sets and this is quite common to see. The coins are not staying in place like the 2007 / 2008 sets. I think the Mint cut back on the middle of the set sealing.

I was just going to say the same thing (almost)
<< <i>I would not send that back,sell it as a mint error. be interesting to see what you would get for it. >>
Hmmmm....Great potential here similar to the DDR Lincolns
Have it attributed as a OOP-D (Out Of Place-Dime)
Maybe I'll get an OOP-C2 (Out Of Place Cent #2)
I guess you would have to send in the whole set to get the OOP coin slabbed
In the first box the Denver Formative Year Lincoln has an additional finger on the left hand. I think that is neat!
In the other box the Philadelphia Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky Lincoln has about a 1/4 rotation to it
<< <i>I have a DDR on the Formative Denver. I can't find any reference to this. Any ideas? >>
OMG 2009 D Satin Finish Formative DDR's !!!!
You can see a them here as well

<< <i>Hey guys. I forgot to include the message about the copper cents from the U.S. Mint that came with my shipment in today. Below is the message. Be advised.

I still can't understand this. The Mint used this composition almost exclusively on Lincolns from 1909 to 1982 and now they don't know how to keep them from tarnishing??? I have plenty of bright red cents from that period as I'm sure many of you do as well. Is there something different about the process in 2009 vs. 1982 and before that causes this problem, or did the Mint just forget how to make real coins???
