2027 US Mint Products

If the spot prices of precious metals retreat significantly and stabilize at lower levels, the Mint may reduce prices for some of its products, but the market, IMO, would have to change noticeably in order for prices to be reduced.

I don't expect any change in price outside of the precious metal adjustments. I think you will see the premiums remain the same. Even if it is a down year for sales I think we go through 27 before they consider price adjustment.

They are going to keep the prices high to gouge the Lincoln Cent collectors.

You would think at that price they could at least use bronze blanks for the cents.

We all watched the mint jack the prices up very quickly when silver went from around $50/ounce to $120. Now silver is back to under $60. No doubt the folks at the mint are watching sales numbers as they wonder how the pubic responds to prices driven $120 silver. I'm not buying any new Morgans etc at the prices driven by $120 silver.

I haven't canceled anything 'yet' but I'm keeping an eye out to see what the mint does

Their costs won't be reduced to any significant level and they are legally obligated to recover them, producing collector coins at $0 cost to the taxpayer.

I think they put too much of the burden of the fixed costs on collectors, but that's not going to change in their accounting.

So I don't expect a reduction in costs. In fact I expect another significant increase as the volumes in 2027 drop off, leaving 2028 to recover still higher costs over fewer sales.
