Circulating San Francisco cents? Sure, why not...they've done it with the ATB Quarters. |

And we've had West Point circulating cents and I believe quarters as well which obviously had no mint marks. |

Here is the information on all three special pennies. I got this from the US Mint Facebook page: United States Mint A special West Point (W) Penny will be included as a free gift with purchase for the following sets:  3/1 2019 Proof Set (19RG) will include a proof penny struck at West Point 4/24 2019 Silver Proof Set (19RH) will include a reverse proof penny struck at West Point 5/14 2019 Uncirculated Coin Set (19RJ) will include a uncirculated finish penny struck at West Point |

Well well well... very interesting.
I'm still interested to see how these extra cents will ship.

Got this email from the mint today.... Quote:The United States Mint Proof Set, a perennial favorite among collectors, releases its 2019 edition March 1. This beautiful 10-coin set—struck at the San Francisco Mint—showcases a series of unique designs that shine radiantly against the mirror-like background of the proof finish. The set contains the Native American $1 Coin, Kennedy half dollar, five America the Beautiful Quarters, Roosevelt dime, Jefferson nickel, and Lincoln Penny. The dollar coin's reverse celebrates Native American contributions to the U.S. space program. As a special bonus, each 2019 proof set is shipped along with a separately packaged proof Lincoln Penny with the "W" mint mark of the West Point Mint—the first of a series of three pennies that will only be released this year! You won't want to miss this one. Mark your calendars now! I am also subscribed to the Mint set so will also receive the uncirculated W cent later this year! Edited by KenKat

I think it's really nice to have a different type of special cent in each set. However, now that means that I have to get all 3 sets! What an interesting trick to get us to buy both a proof and a silver proof set. I normally only buy the silver proof set.

The extra cent will be interesting because it's "different" but as far as mintage is concerned it won't be a biggie.
I will assume that this cent will increase sales but the 2018 sets are still for sale with the silver proof at over 300k and the regular proof set just under 500k. It shouldn't be valued anymore than any other coin from the set.
It is for album people and for them it IS interesting

That's fine, I was going to buy all 3 sets anyways, so bonus for me. I know they won't really be worth much, but still nice to have in hand for personal viewing. They need to sneak some rare coins into circulation to jump start the hobby.
