If they stop minting them and putting them in mint sets and proof sets then the mint would theoretically have to lower the price (and their profit) since there was less face value in the sets now. Exactly. Of course, they could compensate some if they pulled the cent from circulation and made a bronze NIFC version for the annual sets.  |

I am already wondering once the Presidential dollars conclude next year how much the mint / proof sets will decrease in price. I try to buy the mint / proof / silver proof every year and those three add up. And an extra to break for albums. I need some relief with the retail prices. And I have always thought the silver proof sets shouldn't include yet another set of Presidential proofs. I always liked the Native American proofs, and have a set of those as well. I just wish they would do something different for a change. |

I am really hoping the set prices come down after the prez dollars end.

It should. Four whole dollars at least.  |

Of course, they could compensate some if they pulled the cent from circulation and made a bronze NIFC version for the annual sets. But if they drop the dollars from the sets because they are no longer made for circulation, they should drop the cent as well if it isn't being made for circulation. |

They are only dropping four of the five dollars because they have run out of subject material. Besides, the cent is just like the half dollar, a continuous non-changing design (save for the reverse change every fifty years). Now, if they wanted to continue having five dollars, they could opt for plan B... Ten years of Vice Presidents.  |

The half dollar is just on a hiatus.  I could be wrong, or if may just be an opinion, but the half dollar is still a (potentially) circulating coin. If the Fed ran out tomorrow (unlikely judging by activity in the CRH thread) then the mint would have to release some into circulation and they still have the authority to do so. |
