Not sure, probably won't be too long. As for me I will only get
them from circulation, just like the state quarters,
I refuse to pay anything over face value for modern coins like that.

You know, the ones with the fancy and way cool wrappers that you can only
get from the US Mint. The ladies dig them.

I read, and have been reading long before the new cents came out, that
they are going to mint copper (or they sometimes call it bronze, due
to a dash of zinc in the copper) 2009 Lincoln cents (new designs of
course) for collector sets. Sounds neat that they are actually minting
copper cents again, even though they are not for general circulation.
Or do they mint copper cent for every year's numismatic sets?
(1983-2008?) Now I'm curious of that, now that I thought to ask.

First of all, the addition of zinc to copper makes brass; throw in some tin
and you make bronze.

The cents in collector sets since 1982 have been copper-plated zinc, which
is not brass, as the two metals are not alloyed. I suppose that if you
melted some down and stirred them around enough, you could call the
resultant blob of metal brass, but you'd be stretching it big time.

Since collector sets have such an excessive markup, the Mint could afford to
make the component coins out of more costly alloys. But they normally
choose not to. The 2009 collector cents in bronze, if they are made, will
be an exception designed to massage the hurt feelings of traditionalists. I
just hope that some politician doesn't decide that we need to have a 2009-S,
V.D.B. Lincoln cent.
