I was checking on this years mintage, 2009 P Log Cabin 284 million, 2009 D Log Cabin 350 million, 2009 P Formative Years 376 million, 2009 D Formative Years 363 million. The last time that mintages were that low was 1969 S business strike 261 million and 1974 S business strike 412 million. Locating any of these in circulation in an unusual find. These 2009 business strikes are zinc with 2% copper, but the 2009 S Proof Lincoln cents are 95% copper and the mint sets will contain 2009 P&D Lincoln cents made of 95% copper. In years to come their beauty will be something to behold. They will always be in demand because Lincoln cents have a huge following. In 2010 the obverse will remain the same but there will be a new reverse, no more Memorial reverse cents. Sometime in the future there will be a metal change, probably copper plated steel. Just won't be the same Lincoln cent but they will still be collectable.
