Why is the 2019 - W Proof Penny considered a Premium Coin by the US Mint?
I don’t know but there will be no production limit at least till they decide to stop making them.

==================== With a "W" mintmark, I was hoping it would be gold or some other precious metal.
Walle had started a thread on this, if you want to see the comments already made...
New 2019 W Penny coming with Proof Sets
Who is using the word "premium" and in what context?
In the old days a premium was a promotional freebie included with a purchase, which is what this cent is.
It is also a proof coin, which is a premium product in the modern sense.
