2009 cents

[BenButton]

I save all of the AU 2009 cents that I find. I work at a gas station and rarely find them. I have maybe 20-30 so far. I was thinkin maybe when I have a kid and they grow up they might be worth something. Just because of how rarely I see them. Is one rarer than another? Do you think it is worthwhile to save them?

They are worth saving in my personal opinion. A lot of them have doubling on the reverse and have even seen some on the obverse. Me being the Lincoln collector that I am I save all AU pennies I pull from circulation. I roll them up by date, mark them and throw them into the safe.

worth keeping

Thye 2009 nickels and dimes are worth saving much more than the pennies. there were a lot of pennies made, but very few nickels and dimes. take a look a the mint numbers. And the 2012 quarters are worth saving. They too are rarer. I don't save the 2009 pennies, due to too many made, but on the other hand, if you want to, it's not hurting anybody, so go ahead and save them. :-) I have heard the Washington (#4) is the best one to save by those who swap coins and work in the trade.

Any opinion on 2009 halves?

At first I saved the pennies but after seeing how many people collect them I stopped because that lowers future value mostly all the time.

No different than 2008 and 2010 halves. they are NIFC, so rarer, but they never seem to gain any value. I keep a few of each year per mint mark, and then start tossing them back again after I get a few.

Thanks for weighing in.

That's the one I get the least. I keep one of each for my collection, and one spare of each in case someone wants it as part of a trade.
