2009 pennies

[spacemanX]

does anyone save the 2009 pennies. noting that the 2009 president lincoln penny has extremely low mintage, lowest in 50 years. even lower than the 1968s.
i have only found ~10 or so in hand sorting thru around $750 in pennies.

I save them when I see them, and if they are in decent shape. They are all sitting in a box waiting for me to put them in rolls one day when I have nothing to do, so they should stay in the box for a very long time. Hopefully I find someone who wants to buy them to look for errors one day, and then I will sell them, but for now, I just put them aside as I see them.

I used to save them, but not anymore. Over 2 billion were made. I probably get a couple dozen per bag.

same. I was saving them at one point but finally decided to just dump them back in. I don't feel it's worth holding onto them.

I have a couple rolls of them. Doubtful they will be worth much, but you never know. Doesn't hurt to have some, I suppose.

I don't find many, maybe 10 per $25 box, I've kept a few rolls of nice ones, and will go through them eventually for the errors.

I have a 25.00 box of them plus a few extra rolls from when I went to the Lincoln City release of the "Railsplitter" design, all with the Lincoln City Post Office cancelation stamp wich has the release date on them.

went thru my 2009's today and found 3 error coins. two are the extra thumb variety of the seated lincoln
bonus round!!

will continue to save.

I've had a practice for many years: saving all coins of the current year. Basically the idea behind it is my version of what several others here have already mentioned: I will wait a while on them and see what varieties are discovered, then go through all my accumulated stuff and see what I can find. I found some DDRs on the railsplitter design quite a while back... but I still have thousands that I haven't gone through, even though it's now 2014!
Another part of the process for me: after the error searching, I put together a roll each of the fifty best P and D cents each year, then the rest go in the latest dump.

Smart idea uthminsta. Planning for the future.
I saved up one bucket of the 2009's in good shape (about $50). At some point I stopped adding the Illinois capitol edition, as it's a lot more common. I'm working on a second bucket, but I only pull out the final edition, of the U.S. capitol. I do a cursory glance for doubled thumbs on the boyhood one and have found nary a one (yet).

Although it's been a while since I've posted any, in the past I've had good luck selling my 09s on EvilBay by the roll, advertised honestly as various conditions and unsearched for errors.

Hit or miss for me. The more my son helps me sort the more I save the 09's (he likes them). Lately they have been returned.
