    I am waiting for the complete silver sets to become available. I gave up on the clad sets a few years ago.

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 ... ?

    Do the silver sets also come with the W cent?

    It's not about the sets

    I'm subscribed so I won't forget to order. Only 1 for me.


  • JBKJBK Posts: 14,643 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think the silver sets will have a different bonus cent.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think I will get all three W cents....Not sure they will ever be valuable... just different, and I like that. Cheers, RickO

    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.

    I read it is a reverse proof.

    Three special cents to be released by the Mint...

    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.

  • bsshog40bsshog40 Posts: 3,769 ✭✭✭✭✭

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

    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!

    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...)

  • GluggoGluggo Posts: 3,566 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I got some but that’s all no crazy buying after the Rocketship!

  • Big spender here- 3 sets!

  • privatecoinprivatecoin Posts: 3,162 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.

    What is the metal specs for the 2019 W cent?

    Is it assumed it is 2.5% copper, balance zinc?

    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.

    These are already being touted by TV shysters. So far, I've only seen ANACS slabs.

  • GRANDAMGRANDAM Posts: 8,353 ✭✭✭✭✭

    2 sets for me to keep up to date my 2 raw sets of Modern Coinage.
