Just weird that it has taken me that long to find a proof; I have been sorting for several years.

Yes, 2009 proofs are 95% copper and were only offered in mint sets and proof sets.
Congratulations! That is a great find, imo.

Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2010 1:52 amI seem to find a lot of proof halves. I wonder what it takes for someone to accidentally break open a proof set.
