I've been looking into collecting all 20 different 2009 pennies in the highest grades, it seems like a bit of a feat. I was planning on getting more 09 mint sets and sending some in for grading, but I don't want to ante up for boxes, or even rolls to get the rest, seems like an awful lot to put up to put together some sets, but this is probably the time to do it if uncirculated box prices are finally coming down, which I'm not sure they are. Also, I don't see how even high grades of this year would be worth anything with how many will never be circulated.
I've filtered quite a few of these out of circulation, as they were released I was able to build some of my own BU tubes of these, but they were very hoarded. Out of my last 6 boxes searched, I averaged 16.8 2009 pennies per box. I'm finding less worth keeping for anything, bad shape, but I've got a nice glass jar full that are fun to look at.
