    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.

    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.
