Correct. I took it for granted that the uncirculated had to be purchased to get the P & D mint marks. The reason for the question was to ask if there was a difference in the pennies that appeared in the mint sets. Mark, I appreciate the fact that you highlighted that fact as my question was poorly stated and could have given someone the wrong idea. Thanks.

If you want a complete set of copper cents of 2009 you need to buy the P&D uncirculated set and just a proof or silver proof eather one of them the proof sets have the same ones silver or just proof !

If I understand correctly, the Lincoln pennies sold in the Silver Proof set (San Francisco) and the mint proof set (San Francisco) will be completely identical. All will be proof finished and all will be mainly copper, as were the 1907 pennies. The only other “copper” pennies, but not proof finished, will be sold in the unc sets. My point being, if a collector wants a full set of proof pennies, he can accomplish such a purchase by buying either the mint set or the silver mint set. Am I correct?

The 1999-2008 state quarter silver proof sets are the best !
