They must have hit the 190k limit. The page lets you add the subscription, but checkout says it's not available and forces you to remove it.

Not surprising to me anyways that they have reached there limit 190k sets are not that many especially considering the dime half dollar will change in 2027 making it a one year only coin with the dual date. ebay presellers are wanting a heap of money for these uncirculated sets the 3 pennies and the proof set. Hard to tell what the market will be for these at the end of the year. |

If they are 95 pct Cu, I will collect them. Otherwise, no thx to zinc rot.

They have no reason to stick with Zinc. They have every reason to use 95% copper for the NCLT cent. However, I have to assume they have every intention of not doing what makes sense.  |

Agreed it would cost more to go back to copper so they are thinking more of profit versus collector wants.

JBuck, I'm not sure that it's true that Quote:
They have no reason to stick with Zinc. They have every reason to use 95% copper for the NCLT cent. Presumably, the contracts (typically IDIQ) that they had with the copper planchet producer and the copper-plated zinc planchet producer (Jarden or whatever they are known as) are still valid. Quote:
Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), located at Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations, defines an IDIQ contract as one that "provides for an indefinite quantity, within stated limits, of supplies or services during a fixed period. The Government places orders for individual requirements." ( https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12558)But with those contracting vehicles in place, they can order either! -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

Interesting.  I hope they defer to collector desire. Quote:

I could be wrong here even though the 2026 Lincoln cents are NIFC coins I believe that there enough collectors to make all 3 pennies very valuable. In 2025 the S proof pennies were fetching anywhere from $150.00 to over $2900.00 for the most expensive penny. Not talking about the Omega ones just pennies from the clad and silver proof sets around 425k sets were made of both. The P and D pennies this year are limited to only 190k. I am putting it out there that the P-D-S 2026 pennies will bust new records. I am planning on hiring a couple of friends to buy the limit on all sets that contain 2026 pennies because even though mint is charging over 400% more then the year before they will still be well worth it.

It will be interesting to see where the prices stabilize with known mintage numbers and uninformed panic buying off the table.
S-mint:
25RG 2025 PROOF SET 304,716
25RH 2025 SILVER PROOF SET 114,279
D&P mint coins:
25RJ 2025 UNC SET 188,817
Lincoln Cents 645,200,000 655,200,000

I don't understand why the 2025 S pennies are doing so well on the secondary market
The NIFC pennies will be around for a while
I would think the 2025 circulated pennies are what collectors want so that is why I figured that the Uncirculated set was so expensive on the secondary market.

I think most people thought the mint was not going to produce any and after the announcement that the penny was finished went into panic mode and the prices have not dropped.
