New 2019 W Penny coming with Proof Sets ( Special Lable from NGC ) ( PCGS Grades )

I just noticed on the mint website the new 2019 proof set is coming with a additional 2019 penny from the West Point mint mark.
New in 2019! Premium Coin: The 2019 proof set is accompanied by a NEW 2019 premium penny in a proof finish struck at West Point Mint with a “W” mint mark. This special coin is packaged separately in clear United States Mint plastic wrap.

The problem is that the unlimited mintage makes the premium coin less than premium.
I wonder what the price will be for the sets without the cent?
I wonder what the price will be for the sets without the cent?
Or if that will be an option.
I assume it will just be a freebie for all proof sets, like the 1996W dime was for mint sets that year.
I predict this will help increase proof set sales this year.
Still cool IMHO.

So... will this be the circulating rarity that Mint Director David J. Ryder mentioned last year?
Very interesting,,,,,

It might be worth noting that this announcement is currently for the >>clad<< proof set, no word on the website as to whether this coin will also be included in the 2019 silver proof set, whose release date is not yet announced.
With the sales of proof and mint sets plummeting every year, it could be.
(But it's not. Proof coins are not circulating coinage. I assume the circulating rarities will be injected into the circulating coinage coming from the mint, not the mint store.)
Can you provide a link to this announcement?
Is this the first cent to come out of West Point?
The Mint is playing with copper zinc. One of the kid offerings this year is coming with a cent planchet. Slugs used to be rare, and the Mint is going to include one in a kid's set. It'd be nice if it comes in a proof finish.
One can only hope they're playing with the cent because they're going to eliminate it in 2020. (No they're not.)

Yes, I'm replying to this post twice.
If they're saying, "New in 2019", does that mean there'll be a different premium coin released every year?
That'd increase sales. Standard proof coinage from W-Mint, in an ascending year set. 2019 for the cent, 2020 for the nickel, 2021 for the dime...
I meant in the secondary market. People are going to only buy the set for the cent. The sets without the cent will be CHEAP
Will the "W" cent be copper, or plated zinc? Could not get the answer from "Kimberly" at U.S. Mint.
They could throw a handful of BU 2019-W cents into every ballistic bag of 2019 and 2019-D cents sent to the bulk distributors.
Hmmmm.... This makes a lot of cents. (<-- haha, pun...)
So long as they created the dies for the proof, they have the dies for the circulating W-Mint cent. (Or vice versa.)
Well, time to start looking at all my change.
This idea is not farfetchted. I believe that WP has been producing cents for years as a satellite mint of Philadelphia. Why not crank out some business strikes with a W mintmark and mix a few in.
I think I will order a few boxes of cents to see if I get new ones.
Here's an idea. Mint a few W Cents out of those 2009 Copper Planchets and let the word out a few months down the line. Or to really stoke the flames .... drop in a few Gold Planchets ( hmmmmmm. 1/10 oz maybe ).
Sit back and laugh at the flock of mad sheep.
PS .... I could care less about zinc W Cents. But GOLD Ones ? Enough to turn any peaceful Coin Sheep into a raging monsta bleep.
Maybe they will accidentally create an error or two with putting the wrong punch in the dies???
I may pick up a set... I like to get the odd coins they put out... like the 1995W ASE.... Yep, got one...
and the W dime... Soon maybe I can do a full set of W coins.... Would that be cool?? Cheers, RickO
Sure would be great if it was copper and not Zink
Well, the 2018 proof sets are still for sale, currently at just under 500k. The premium coin will likely boost sales in 2019 so expect ~700k or more produced. The concept of a circulating W is far more interesting!
Can you imagine the frenzy if a few "no W" Proof Lincolns get out ?
Please Sir. Could at least 1 of my planned order of 100 Proof Sets contain a " no W" Lincoln ?
🤡
As if .....
Sorry... But I really haven't ordered a Clad Set in a few years. Don't plan any changes over a silly Penny.
Now throw in a slab of Cherry Bubble Gum. 🙄 Hey, it worked in 1965 when I was enticed into spendiing some of my Candy Money on 5 Cent Packs of Topps Baseball Cards. They had Slabs of Bubble Gum in there.
Wow I really wish I had those Baseball Cards now.
Seen this today on coin update.

A special NGC attribution and label are among the ways coin collectors can recognize this historic U.S. Mint release. Special submission instructions must be followed. See the “Submission Instructions” section of this article.
The U.S. Mint has announced that a 2019-W Proof cent will be included with all purchases of the 2019 United States Mint Proof Set, which goes on sale March 1. This is the first cent to feature the ‘W’ mint mark of the West Point Mint. NGC is celebrating this historic coin with a special attribution of First “W” Mint Mark Cent, as well as NGC’s West Point Mint Gold Star Label, both of which are provided for no additional fee. (Scroll below to see detailed submission instructions.)
Lincoln cents have been struck for the past 111 years, typically with no mint mark (if struck in Philadelphia), a “D” mint mark (if struck in Denver), or an “S” mint mark (if struck in San Francisco). In 2017, a “P” mint mark was included on the Philadelphia issues for the first time to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Mint.
Today, the U.S. Mint branch in West Point, New York, is best known for minting commemorative and bullion coins in precious metals including silver, gold, platinum, and palladium. However, before it was elevated to a branch mint, the West Point facility produced Lincoln cents for circulation from 1974 to 1986. These had no mint mark and are indistinguishable from the Philadelphia issues.
The 2019-W Proof cent is included with orders of the 2019 United States Mint Proof Set, which features Proof examples of the 10 coins produced this year for circulation: A cent, nickel, dime, five America the Beautiful quarters, a half dollar, and dollar, all with the “S” mint mark. There is no mintage limit or household order limit on this set.
Coins received by NGC within the first 30 days of their release are eligible for NGC’s popular Early Releases and First Releases designations. Learn more about Early Releases and First Releases here. For Early Releases or First Releases cutoff dates, click here.

Thanks for adding the picture, I didn't know how to do it.
Packaging for the “premium” cent.
RE: "This special coin is packaged separately in clear United States Mint plastic wrap."
Is this the same "clear United States Mint plastic wrap" use for sandwiches, hard boiled eggs and donuts in the cafeteria vending machines?
So this goes on sale TOMORROW RIGHT????? Ohhhhhh Geeeeeez here we go ahead I think I am in for at least 1.
With a UNLIMITED MINTAGE I can’t see this as being all that special other than this would be the first time in HISTORY with a mint mark right? To bad they did not limit it to 100,000 . I guess the mint wants it’s money.i don’t really collect pennies just have not ventured that way.
Judging by the response or lack thereof this penny is going to be a flop.
I assume PCGS will Holder these but I don’t see a coin # yet

I subscribe to this so no alarm clock needed this time.
Not interested.
Possibly a unique engraving ala Cheerio sac?
So what happens to the value of the 2019 W - Proof Cent when the 2019 W Reverse Proof Cent is released with the 2019 Reverse Proof Paladium Eagle? Mintage limited to 15,000 .
"This is the first of three sets to be released in 2019 that will include a special edition penny as a thank you to our loyal customers."
Any guesses as to what Special Edition Lincoln #3 will be
“The 20-coin Uncirculated Mint set, which includes 10 coins each from the Denver and Philadelphia Mints, will have as its premium, as the 21st coin in the set, a 2019-W Lincoln cent with Uncirculated finish.”

Wow, with these 3 new "rare " Cents coming out , all us parking lot recovery hobbyists will have something new to look out for. I suppose the lots near a Post Office might be ground zero for these new treasured rarities ? Or, actually, any Trash Can, anywhere?
Wow, this dessicant looks like a Penny. Flip........ hey yo...... 3 POINTS........ and the crowd roars !🙌
Ohhhh, Comes with a special envelope too? From BEP?

Anyone have any Price Data on the 2009 Copper Lincoln issues? I'm far too lazy to look it all up. If a motivated Researcher wouldn't mind, I'm sure your efforts will be appreciated.
