The 2025 Proof Set went on sale today. Will it have the last "penny" (as the Mint mis-identifies the Cent) or not?

If I were to wager I would say no.
Don't turn your back on me now, I'm not going anywhere. At least look at me Jeff. C'mon guys! Sac? Anyone?
40 bucks? Holy crap!

I hope they put a cent in the Silver Proof set. I stopped buying the copper-nickel sets several years ago.
Yes, $40 is a high price, but it’s not as bad as charging over $50 for the copper-nickel commemorative half dollars.
Wildly overpriced. The fact it has the cent in it may be its only redeeming value.
Only 250k 2025 cents have been minted? Is this true?
Google AI………”The 2025 Lincoln cent mintage may be around 250,000 coins. However, the number of coins minted doesn't always determine rarity. Supply and demand are more important factors.”
595,000,000 total P&D from the mint website.
If that's true, we are looking at a great rarity.
I just hope that the San Fransisco Mint made enough Proofs to cover the entire Proof set issue.
They will be cheaper later.
Most times, that is true, but when I got rid of my copper-nickel sets, which I decided to give up on them, there were a couple that were worth more than I paid.
you have learned an important lesson.
ai gets things wrong.
don't trust it, ignore it and do your own research
Wait till it comes to the secondary market or wait for tv shysters and pay double, just saying.
AI doesn't get things wrong any more than the internet or humans. It's using the same sources you would be using.

How long until total sales of proof sets are lower than 1955 levels?
Not the last cent piece and even at the overly high price of $40.25 not the last proof set for me, though I only get one now. Mine will be in the mailbox by Saturday, March 8.
Maximum production is set at 420,000 or so, it would appear 1955 is still safe.
That could happen if the mint keeps raising issue prices. In 1955, the mint issued 378,200 Proof sets. The last reported numbers in the Red Book seem to be headed in that direction. The issue price in 1955 was $2.10. That’s like $25 in today’s dollars. The silver Proof set is now priced at $150. It does contain five more coins, and the silver coins are .999 instead of .900. Still, that’s a major price increase for something that is not as popular as it used to be.
