DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 11/05/2025 9:56 pm All depends on if the Mint held back some the single plating planchets for 2026 circulation minting. I fully expect to see the cents in the proof sets. Those planchets have a double copper plating specifically for proof striking. My suspicion is those planchets are used for the uncirculated sets as well. Edited by DoubleEagle20 11/05/2025 9:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

They need to scrap those. The 2026 should be NIFC bronze (95% copper), baby! Quote: I fully expect to see the cents in the proof sets.... They need to be bronze, I say. BRONZE!

cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 11/06/2025 2:04 pm How about silver for mint and proof sets only? It should be made out of something that might last another 250 years. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not completely serious but I hear tales of making nickels out of enough toxic zinc to kill almost any toddler and I start thinking about "permanence". Copper is more appropriate and will last 250 years, too. We need to get away from expediency because it is far too costly in the long run and sometimes the short run too.
