Mintage figures for 2021 US cents: P - 3,925,820,000; D - 3,982,800,000; S - 816,662 (proof only).
They are not very rare.

It was specifically one that grades MS-68...

Find a 2021 in MS-68 - that's a 4 figure coin because none have been found yet! KEEP LOOKING!

MS-68 is a very high grade for a modern cent. From these photos I can see enough marks to prevent it from making that grade.

Look through all of them, pick out the very best example(s) and show us here. You will need a better photo though, like that wonderful Ike you shared earlier!

Indeed only the top grades for newer years are worth more. It is worth looking for them IMO.
First thing I look for is lack of watermarks / stains which occur most often at the mint.

No harm in a quick look, but don't hold your breath.

The probability of a coin making it all the way to your hands - getting struck, travelling through the coin distribution system to a bank, getting rolled, then you receiving it, taking it home and unrolling it - and it still being MS68 is, essentially, zero, because a coin in MS68 is easily damaged so it's not MS68 any more - that's why they're so rare. Even coins still sitting protected in mint sets don't usually grade this high. The only way to even have a reasonable probability of finding an MS68 (or higher) 2021 cent is to buy up hundreds of mint sets, and send every single one of the cents in those sets in to one of the grading companies. That's quite a high expenditure, for zero guarantee of the desired outcome happening. Which, again, is why it's so hard, and why if/when they are eventually found, they become valuable.

Let's have a look at the modern cent population report for PCGS: https://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail/cat...=3&p=MS&pn=5

Scroll down to 2021. There are 417 red-graded 2021-(P) cents, and 523 of them for 2021-D. That's a total of 940. None of them are MS69, and only 12 of them are MS68.

There is, of course, some diminishing returns in effect, especially for very new coins. The more of them get submitted, then more of the highest grades will turn up, and the lower the perceived value. So if more people end up doing this, then everybody's coins will decrease in value.

If you haven't figured this out by the time you're 12 then pick a different hobby.

These have a very high mintage. They're not rare at all. Very common. The chances of you finding one in MS-68 condition is pretty much zero.

Not a very nice comment, Coinfrog. Completely uncalled for and unnecessary.

Find the best 3 out of all the rolls and post them one at a time. Look for the least water-stained examples and clear fields.
