It was originally obtainable only from 1996 Mint Sets.<br /><br />The 2009-P&D copper cents are 8 coins that currently sell for about $10 for the entire group of 8. They are obtainable only from 2009 Mint Sets.<br /><br />The mintage of the 1996-W dime was about 1.46 million. The mintage of the 2009-P&D copper cents is currently unknown, but may wind up being about the same.<br /><br />There are many more collectors of modern Lincoln cents than collectors of Roosevelt dimes. More collectors = greater demand.<br /><br />The 2009-P&D copper cents are all one-year type coins. The 1996-W dime is not. More demand from type collectors = even greater overall demand.<br /><br />Given a choice between spending $10 on a single uncirculated 1996-W Roosevelt dime, or obtaining 8 similar-mintage copper "satin finish" 2009 Lincolns for the same price, it's no contest in my book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-4044572222707061332009-10-04T21:55:55.425-07:002009-10-04T21:55:55.425-07:00These coins actually took me be surprise.I really ...These coins actually took me be surprise.I really thought the Tyler was just a spot on the coin.Then when I louped it just to make sure.I noticed it had a circle cut into it and the inner circle was frosted.I've never seen anything like it in my 35 years of collecting errors.The Taylor is though was just thread from the inner casing which is normal to see.But as with every coin I suspect.I louped it and noticed that the coin showed a strike trough either wire or thread.<br /><br /> The only reason I knew that was because of a 1996 w Dime I have with a struck through wire attributed by ANACS.The Puerto Ricos are just really strange.It is as if they were over polished on the left edge of the device.They show a polishing over the frosted area.And all ten sets show the same mark.So it had to be over looked by the San Fran Mint before they were issued out.Maybe I am asking to much for them.That's why I wanted more opinions in here.But I do know that if they were just Ps or Ds I may have just let them go.<br /><br /> Proofs shouldn't look like this at all.Therefore I was hoping someone else might have found some like this in the Puerto Rico proofs.The two presidentials I think are one of a kinds.So I guess I had to start with the people I know and get their take on values.That's why I have them starting at the values I was told to start with.Before I listed them very high.Because I actually didn't want them to sell until I checked around.Maybe they won't sell at this price.But at least I am giving people a chance to give me a best offer on them to see if the experts I talked to are right.<br /><br /> They may just end up staying in my massive error collection too.Which really won't hurt my feelings at all.All I know is.I got that rush I love to feel when I find an error of any kind.Thanks for the friendship and I hope to speak with you and others more on this sight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-37063113781531436472009-10-04T21:33:21.601-07:002009-10-04T21:33:21.601-07:00Now THAT is a response that I WILL reply to.

This was available only in mint sets with a total mintage of less than 1.5 million, by far the lowest non-proof mintage for the series. Currently the entire mint set can be obtained for just over $15. Sure, there are many more cent collectors, but most of them will aquire their cents this year either from the mint or ebay/dealers at a slight premium over the mint price. The only thing that will give you any significant return on this investment (short or long) will be an abrupt end of production before more than a million or so sets have been produced. Although, if the mint didn't really fix the tarnish problem with the packaging, many of these sets may be worthless in 10 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-63021602888378207832009-10-04T14:56:20.765-07:002009-10-04T14:56:20.765-07:00Regarding the comparison between 2009-P&D cent...Regarding the comparison between 2009-P&D cents and 1924-D cents:<br /><br />Sets of Lincoln wheat cents are typically collected in circulated grades, because of affordability. The average collector looking for a 1924-D cent will buy a circulated specimen, paying $25 and up depending on the coin’s grade. A huge majority of 1924-D cents are circulated.<br /><br />Sets of Lincoln Memorial cents are typically collected in uncirculated grades, because nearly all dates are cheap and plentiful. The average collector looking for a set of 2009-P&D 95% copper cents will buy uncirculated specimens, paying (at the moment) about $10 for the set of 8 coins. A huge majority (virtually all) of the 2009-P&D copper cents are uncirculated.<br /><br />So it’s fair to compare prices for the two dates in the grade for which each coin is typically found and collected.<br /><br />Some 2009 mint sets will be hoarded, but most will be widely dispersed to the collecting community. Many 1924-D cents were also saved (hoarded) from circulation during the 1930s through 1960s, and some of these hoards may still exist.<br /><br />Depending on the final mintage of the 2009 Mint Sets, there may end up being fewer 2009-P&D copper cents in collectors’ hands than 1924-D wheat cents in all grades combined. Since more people collect modern Lincolns than wheat Lincolns, demand for the 2009-P&D copper cents will be greater than demand for 1924-D wheat cents going forward.<br /><br />Plus: The 2009 copper Lincolns are all one-year type coins, while the 1924-D is not. So there will be competing demand from type collectors. Additionally, the 2009 copper Lincolns will likely be the lowest mintage type coins in the entire Lincoln series.<br /><br />Plus: The 2009-P&D copper Lincolns are only available in this year’s Mint Set, so there will also be competing demand from Mint Set collectors. The 1924-D Lincoln is not part of any special government-issued set, so there is no competing demand from set collectors.<br /><br />I think these are all compelling reasons for concluding that the future potential of the 2009-P&D copper Lincolns from the 2009 Mint Set is much brighter than current prices would suggest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-46224518673241229772009-10-04T14:13:13.971-07:002009-10-04T14:13:13.971-07:00Jim,
