It appears 2025-S Proof Lincoln Cents are going for moon money on eBay.

I'm seeing 70's both NGC and PCGS going for well over $400, and 69's going for over $200.
Is this really going to continue and perhaps prices going higher?
Looks like I'll be holding on to my only 70 from PCGS.
I sold my two 69's for around $30/pc. during the summer, big mistake it appears.
What say you?

Many prices coming down from their highs already but people appears to be willing to pay $300 still.
I received several notices of price reductions or lower offers.

I ordered 4 proofs set & 4 mint sets and thought I ordered more than I should have at the time. Now I'm glad I did. I have 3 of each still unopened and they may stay that way for a long time too.

Prices will come back to earth. Everyone (most) gotta have it right off
For those that ordered extras or that aren’t attached to the coin, it sounds like it might be time to sell. Of course prices could go up but it seems more likely to be hype from the end of the business strike. Once more proofs are released, the excitement will fade.
time to sell
I'm going to wait to buy mine.

This will be no different than many other hyped up products. Remember the 1995 DDO Cent? When it first came out, buyers were paying $200 to $300. Now, you can buy them for $25. Remember the 2007 smooth edge Washington dollars? Buyers paid around $400 for those back then. These days, you can buy them for $15 to $50.
I believe that the SF will continue to mint Lincoln's in both Mint and Proofs sets, correct? So what's the hype?
Right now, the hype is twofold -- 1- not everyone is aware that the Mint said it will continue to produce cents for collectors, and 2-- due to all the recent head fakes, where the Mint says one thing and then does another, some are speculating that the Mint will NOT continue to produce cents for collectors, regardless of what they are now saying.
All will be revealed in the next few months, and the market will adjust accordingly.
Where got the last pennies made ?
And the exuberance continues.....First Strike 70's over $500!!!

Just insane. What's really bad is when the price crashes and people are left with coins that lost value
It's bad for the hobby

Are they copper-plated zinc or solid bronze ?
Is it?
No one forced them into it. No one tricked them. They freely chose to create a speculativebubble.

That $999.99 is stupid money for that coin.

I don't think it will. JMO. I'm not "spinning" anything. People chose to speculate. If losing a few bucks stops them from collecting, they were never collectors in the first place. Almost every collector I know lost money on the first coins they bought.

They always have before but look how low the mintages are now days. Some are barely over half a million. While attrition has whittled down the older mintages, like the 1974-S, to similar levels the fact is you can buy those older coins by the roll or the bag set. It's very difficult to find the '25 in quantity.
Eventually all these coins will settle at prices determined by supply and demand and the '25 come down but what's going to happen in the shorter term? The real story may be in the journey. Don't chase what's already high priced but many are going to want one for their collections no matter the price.
My Google search result indicates mintage of 420K for the clad and 185K for the silver set. That adds up to 605K if accurate, not exactly a low number even if this is the last year for Lincoln cents.
I learned my lesson about coin hype with '50-D nickels over sixty years ago.

Thanks, MsMorrisine. You are quite the Coin Forum archivist of important work.

That was because loads of the 1995 DDO were minted, like the 2025 P, D, and S. Take a look at the 1995-D DDO cent.
I would want sell them get the money. Lincoln cents just don’t interest me.
PCGS has "only" graded 2911, with 1804 PR-70 which is already more than any other Lincoln cent date. So, either this date seems to have been better made than all others, or it's already "gradeflation".
Either way, once 2026 cents are released, a more realistic price is similar to other recent dates which is somewhat more than the cost of grading at best.

I was not talking about the 1995-D. So...my original statement stands correct.
I believe that all the big boy's sent them in to take advantage of the "HYPE" and they ARE getting rewarded! Not by me though, I'll wait to add one to my set next year when the prices crash
