Mine arrived as well!  Overall very nice. There are some spots or black flecks on the reverse of the 2025 cent, but I don't know that I want to go through the hassle of exchanging it when there's no guarantee the replacement will be better. Next stop, breaking it open for the Danscos! |

An October 13 article in Coin World included the following: Quote:
When the Treasury Department suspended circulating cent production, the Bureau of the Mint ceased placing orders for ready-to-strike planchets from its longtime Greeneville, Tennessee, vendor, Artazn, formerly known as Jarden Zinc Products.
Bureau officials indicate cent planchets will still be secured for production of cents at the Denver and Philadelphia Mints for inclusion in annual Uncirculated Mint sets, and planchets for Proof cents for annual Proof sets will also be secured.
The Uncirculated Mint set planchets have upset (raised) rims and are composed of a single layer of pure copper over a core of 99.2% zinc and 0.8% copper. The Proof cent planchets shipped to the San Francisco Mint exhibit a double plating of pure copper.

Thank you for sharing. I wish they would put bronze (95% copper) cents in the sets though.

Awesome. So this sounds like the indication that the mint will indeed still mint the cents for collectors via uncirculated sets?
I mean, they have done this with other coins, so I figured they would probably do this with the cent. Half dollars are still being produced, as well as Sacagawea/Native American dollars, which haven't seen any official circulation release since the early 2000's.

True, but just to be clear, they have been putting new Kennedy half dollars into circulation the last few years. They were only de facto NIFC—banks did not need them, so the Fed did not order them. |

Really? I didn't know that. When did they start doing that again?
