are NOT found in circulation in any appreciable amounts.
I do believe at least 75% of the total mintage on these pieces has been hoarded.

...judging by my observations i'd say you speak truth.

that goes for me as well. others i talk to do not get many either.

...i think some may have the misconception they are 95% copper.

Wasn't the mintage total like 2.3 BILLION for the zinc ones? Can't imagine anyone would hoard them.
Now the COPPER ones are different. I have a BUNCH of those sets.

Yes, but doesn't dividing this by 4 help any?

Not sure I've ever had 17 pennies in my pocket.

I've got nearly a full tube of 2011's... about 1/3 a tube of 2010, and 3 - count 'em - THREE 2009 cents, all of which were accumulated over the past 18 or so months...
What does THAT tell you?

<< <i>A habit my Dad started with me has a few coin tubes on the dresser for certain issues, one of which is the 2009 Lincoln cent, 2010, and 2011.

Tells me that they might not be circulating in your area. Just for the Hell of it, I grabbed 2 handfulls of change from my change jar and checked them. out of 57 cents minted after 1982 (coppers go in other jar) 11 were 2009's.
Who's to say there aren't millions of these in Fed vaults somewhere. Probably have bags of unwanted dollar coins stacked on top of them.
It's hard to imagine someone would hoard 1.8 billion cents.
Those sets, plus the C&C set, plus the LP-1's.....I admit, I did pretty darn good for buying/selling '09 Lincoln cents (too much time went by for it to be officially called flipping). The Lincoln craze lasted pretty much all year, from what I recall. The LP-2's, they were hot also, for the DD's (LP-2's are not commanding near any premium, too many DD's, IMO, and the LP-1's are at a minimum, as are the C&C sets...still fetching more than issue, but not even close to as much as they were bringing at their peak)...but boy, did I love those 2009 'Ceremony' Lincoln sets in 66RD! And that was shortly after the killing I made on the '08 Rev '07 ASE's (and I did not receive ONE '08 Rev '07 from the mint, but thanks to John Nanney's thread, I picked up a bunch at $99...same dealer, I think...haven't called that number since....seemed like the next day, those '08 Rev '07's were at $499).
But, none found in circulation at all. I agreewith ambro, as far as the high % of hoarding. They could be considered the new SHQ.. Same deal....moon money, then back to earth PDQ.
I have a Machine wrapped roll of Bicentennial Quarters I've had since 76. I have $10 invested in it.
Not counting inflation they're still worth $10.

Some variety collectors have saved the 2009-p & d formative years because of the Double die rev on the hand.
I myself have unc rolls of the different DDR varieties.Check out (COPPERCOINS.COM) for pics & info.

...a real collector would have a pocket full of prez bucks.
Why would they be hoarded?
...i guess they qualify as a type coin too.

You had 17 cents in your pocket? Whoa... that's really, REALLY heavy, man!
i think this area gets new pennies first over other areas of the country...
by the end of Feb i should see my first 2012 penny...just seems like this is the trend here

O.K.
It's finally revealed why ricko never carries a pocket piece.
