2009 - 20 Lincoln Bicentennial Cent COMPLETE Set withS Proof Cents, in holder;
P&D Business Strikes, P&D Satin Strikes
Up for sale is a complete 2009 20 Coin Lincoln Bicentennial Cent set. The Lincoln Bicentennial cents were minted in 2009 (only) celebrating the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth and the 100th year of the venerable Lincoln cent. There were four different designs minted that year with all four showing the obverse with the standard Lincoln bust and four different reverses as follows:
1) Birth and Early Childhood
2) Formative Years
3) Professional Life
4) Presidency
Besides four different designs, there were also three different types of strikes of these coins as follows:
1) Business or regular Circulation Strike - Both P&D (Philadelphia and Denver mints). These are the coins that circulated (from MINT uncirculated rolls though) and are made mostly of Zinc. (8 Coins)
2) Satin Strike - Both P&D (Philadelphia and Denver mints) cut from the 2009 mint sets. These coins did NOT circulate and could only be obtained by purchasing the 2009 mint set directly from the mint. These coins were specially made with special 95% Copper planchets (3% tin and 2% Zinc) to mirror the original metallic composition of the 1909 Lincoln cents. Because of their composition, they tend to "
tone
" or tarnish easily so I have taken them out of the mint sets and placed them in Guard House air tight holders for long term storage and protection. There were only about 771,000 of these coins minted which is quite low for Lincoln cents and therefore they are relatively hard to find as compared to other modern Lincoln cents. The coins in this set remain in their untouched original mint packaging (cut out from the 2009 full mint sets) (8 Coins)
3) Proof Strike - S (San Francisco mint) from the 2009 proof sets These coins did NOT circulate and could only be obtained by purchasing the 2009 proof set directly from the mint. The coins come in the original mint lenses from the proof sets and are untouched. Note that the proof coins are also 95% copper and tend to tone as well. The toning is, in my opinion, attractive with tones of blue and red. You may receive toned proofs and you may receive non-toned coins. If you want one or the other please send me a note and I will try and provide you what you prefer. (4 Coins)
This is an interesting and unique set which contains the following 20 coins:
2009 Early Childhood Business Strike Lincoln Cents P&D, Satin Strike P&D + S Proof Lincoln Cents
2009 Formative Years Childhood Business Strike Lincoln Cents P&D, Satin Strike P&D + S Proof Lincoln Cents
2009 Professional Life Business Strike Lincoln Cents P&D, Satin Strike P&D + S Proof Lincoln Cents
2009 Presidency Business Strike Lincoln Cents P&D, Satin Strike P&D + S Proof Lincoln Cents
I sell a lot of these sets as the 2009 Lincoln coins are popular and the price I am asking low relative to others selling these coins. Plus you don't have to go out try and find all of them yourself!
