Asking about July-Aug of this year (not long term)... What do you think the average eBay price will be for ALL THREE?
What will the three 1776-2026 pennies trade for?

That's quite a jump in increments, especially between $30 and $300. I suspect that a lot of guesses might fall in between.
I was thinking probably between the $300-$600.
Given the Proof Set and Mint Set prices are so high and given that they are likely to sell out quickly on release day and be worth even more in the aftermarket, you certainly will not be able to get these cents cheaply in the foreseeable future.
Not sure how many breaking the sets up and selling just the cents anyways? I'm sure there will be some dealers trying that out, but I would guess most will just keep their sets intact.
Similarly, I have a customer that recently asked me if I can get them the new 2026 dime in silver. Well, I'm not going to break up a silver proof set just for him. Told him to wait and buy a graded one probably, but don't expect it to be cheap.
Michael Kittle Rare Coins --- 1908-S Indian Head Cent Grading Set --- No. 1 1909 Mint Set --- Kittlecoins on Facebook --- Long Beach Table 700
Guess around 200 near the outset, maybe close to 100 after a year.
How many are they making?
Yes, I would have been in-between. While I think the uncirculated cents will be in the $100 range, I don't expect the same for the proof cents. This is pretty much a regular mintage of proof cents. Now, they will probably get some play as the cheapest way to get a 2026 cent, so better than a normal proof cent.

As of now (based on the mint subscription mintage numbers for each respective sey)...
190,000 Uncirculated Philadelphia - no Mint Mark
190,000 Uncirculated Denver-D
571,522 Proof San Francisco - S (420,002 from the Proof Set and 151,520 from the Silver Proof Set)
depends on the grade; anywhere from $450 - $3500 right now on Ebay
More than I am willing to pay for sure. I hope I end up with a cent in a Proof set. Otherwise my eyes will glaze over.
I own cents from 1793, 1799 and 1804, but the modern stuff doesn’t excite me.
**WOW !!!! Really ? **
Yes. www.ebay.com if you want to look

Well, I think there will be a lot of excitement and prices will go up then after a period and downfall, But that's vague I know.. HA HA! So I don't know...
I did & I can't believe it...... incredible !
I still have 25 unc. sets on order.... hopefully the mint won't reduce the HHL
I wouldn't put much stock in anything graded. The prices are grossly inaccurate for anything graded. I would expect cancellations of virtually all of those silly presales of graded coins as the price is likely too high or too low. 68s aren't easy if they handle them like normal Mint Sets, in which case people will have trouble filling the orders. If they handle them like proof coins, 69s are easy and then the 68s are way over-priced and buyers will be canceling.
Presales of sets in the $199 range. But that price could also be too high or too low.

A likely scenario
Probably about 10c each in 2x2 dealer junk boxes.
As always I respect your opinion..... @ 190K minted I see this a lot higher than that ? Of coarse I have been wrong before
They will come down in price in a few months after they hit the market
Just look at the 2025-S Lincoln Cent Proof in PCGS PR-70DCAM, a few months ago were selling for over $1000 on ebay, last week I passed on one in an auction for a little over $200. I still think its too high

The OP asked about a specific time frame, not 2 years from now.

I have serious concerns about anyone who answered $0.03. I don't think they understand the question.

The 2025's were released a year ago not 2 months ago. So, the price decline happened in a year not 2 months.

I used the 2025-s as an example

I know. But, as I'm pointing out, that drop happened after a year not a few months. That example actually argues for the longer time frame, which is what I was trying (perhaps clumsily) to point out.

It looks like there'll be 300k of the Ps and Ds
