Kind of like the 5 1913 Liberty Nickels, except that it will not be a secret. Perhaps the secret is who will handle the auction for the U.S. Government. Hopefully they ID the one that the Treasury Secretary fingered. Or maybe it will be worth more if a print emerges over the years.

I’m not going to go back and look but I think there have already been multiple threads on this topic.

There are a few threads on this. I would like to own an omega cent though.

Someone is going to put an "omega" counterstamp on thousands of 2025 cents and put them into circulation.

That would be cool. It would get the public going. I wonder if Dan will make a 2026 with a counter stamp.

Yes, thanks, guess I did not look back far enough!

I really wish they had kept out a large number of the last day of mintage coins to be preserved/graded. I would love to own one.
