Dockwalliper Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 The Presidential dollar coin Bill that is waiting for the Presidents signature also includes coins celebrating the Bi-centenial of Abe Lincolns birth. There will be 4 differant designs depicting 4 stages of lincolns life. They will be made in the regular copper coated zinc for circulation and in copper for "numismatic purposes". So...4 coins, 2 alloys, Philly, Denver plus Proofs.........I make that out to be 20 different 2009 Pennies. Fills a whole page. Oh, and the law also identifies them as....PENNIES. "SEC. 304. NUMISMATIC PENNIES WITH THE SAME METALLIC CONTENT AS THE 1909 PENNY." So I guess you can give up on the penny/cent thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Could be 28 if they maintain the satin finish in the Unc sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Could be 28 if they maintain the satin finish in the Unc sets. I hope not. The whole satin finish thing just doesn't do anything for me. Of course it probably let them sell more mint sets then ever before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stujoe Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Some days, I am really happy that I decided long ago to only collect the regular, plain old, business strikes for my main collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockwalliper Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Could be 28 if they maintain the satin finish in the Unc sets. The 8 Satins would be the same coins as the 8 copper coins in the mint set so it would still only be 20. In other words all the copper cents would be either satin or proof and all the zincs would be regular finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
