*Lincoln one-cent coins contain an alloy consisting of 95% copper, 3% zinc and 2% tin that matches the alloy used in the original 1909 version. anybody have any knowledge or insight on this...is this just for the mint set or what is the deal?

It is only in the mint sets. not general circulation which is zinc based coins.

Yep, that is only in the mint and proof sets. I was going to say it was only proof, so it would only be the coins with an S, but the mint sets say the same thing, so there will be plain and D versions too. I would be curious to find out who is the first person in this forum to find a coin from a 2009 proof or mint set break in their copper box?
