2026 P D S Penny Opinions

It is for circulation.

I doubt it. The next president will have more pressing matters. On the list of things to undo, the cent is not even in the first volume. And almost no one will even care about the circulating cent in 2029, having adapted to its absence by then.

I wonder if people thought that about the SBA Dollar in 1981

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.

Just prepare for battle on release day.

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.

JBuck, I'm not sure that it's true that

But with those contracting vehicles in place, they can order either!

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.
