I am waiting for the complete silver sets to become available. I gave up on the clad sets a few years ago.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
The proof set will come with a proof W-Mint cent, the uncirculated set will come with an uncirculated W-Mint cent and the silver set will come with a RP W-Mint cent.
I stopped buying US Mint's annual set but I am guilty of buying 2 sets of these for the bonus penny (especially they come in their own envelope). Thanks.

It’s here! This year’s 10-coin Proof Set includes a separately packaged limited edition Lincoln penny bearing the “W” mint mark of the West Point Mint. This penny is part of a three-coin series of pennies released only in 2019. It’s our gift to you!
The proof set will come with a proof W-Mint cent, the uncirculated set will come with an uncirculated W-Mint cent and the silver set will come with a RP W-Mint cent.
When all is said and done I think the uncirculated W-Mint cent will be the winner of this 3 coin set. It is a business strike with a low mintage which will have the most potential. Lincoln collectors will all need a business strike but not all collect proofs. The proof W's are unique for now and will carry a premium but will likely suffer the fate of most other S Mint Proof cents. Supply and demand!

There isn’t a time limitation to purchase and get the “bonus” cent, correct? I usually bundle my year sets into a single purchase later in the year.
AFAIK, those bonus cents will be available with every set, so yes, available until the end of time. (Or whenever they sell out, sometime in 2020 or 2021...)
If you subscribe, they'll ship free, and once you get past three purchases from the Mint, everything ships free. So I no longer wait until everything's available, (I used to wait until December's free shipping deal and bundle the annual sets, but no longer have to...)

I ordered two proof sets along with two rocket ships.
So far nothing short of a 24 kt Lincoln would move me to buy a US clad Proof Set. But ... I did break down and order 2 of those Rocket Ships. There's got to be a Kid somewhere that might want one.... or both !
I thought this was the set with the Unstruck Lincoln Planchet. Guess I need to read before clicking.
Well I have subs for the Uncirc and Silver sets also, so it looks like I will have a couple more of these coming later this year. maybe I'll get lucky and wind up with all 3 finishes.

I am thinking about it for Birthday gifts
Guilty.
Multiples, I couldn't help myself.
2 for me
Thx for letting me know, so I wont have to buy one for myself.
There ..... a GOOD LOL for you!
I stopped buying regular proof sets years ago but I was a sucker for this one
I got my order confirmation at 4:30am this morning...
I ordered two proof sets along with two rocket ships.

Do the silver sets also come with the W cent?
Collector, occasional seller
It's not about the sets
I'm subscribed so I won't forget to order. Only 1 for me.
I think the silver sets will have a different bonus cent.
I think I will get all three W cents....Not sure they will ever be valuable... just different, and I like that. Cheers, RickO
I have not ordered Proof Sets in decades.
So is the cent an actual part of the 2019 proof set? The mint website indicated it was a "bonus" coins, and had a separate line in the final checkout.
Please visit my website Millcitynumismatics.com
Same here. Just ordered 2.
I read it is a reverse proof.
Three special cents to be released by the Mint...

I have a sub for 2 sets each year. Looks like I will be getting 2 W Lincolns.

I got some but that’s all no crazy buying after the Rocketship!
Big spender here- 3 sets!
I usually prefer to buy my proof set, silver proof set, and mint set all in one purchase.

A Zincoln with a W mint mark is still a Zincoln.
Same here. Just bought 2 sets.

Me too.
First proof sets I have bought from the mint in fifteen years, probably.
It looks like their free cent promotion is working.

What is the metal specs for the 2019 W cent?
Is it assumed it is 2.5% copper, balance zinc?
I bought a few sets at the Baltimore show.

These are already being touted by TV shysters. So far, I've only seen ANACS slabs.
2 sets for me to keep up to date my 2 raw sets of Modern Coinage.
Is it my Good friend Mike Miesian on HSN?
Opened first box of 50... Removed sets and found this
Wow... did not take long....mine are in transit from the Mint...but the flippers are hitting it hard... Cheers, RickO
