    Supposedly the mint minted five of the last Lincoln cents with an omega privy mark. The mints estimates are $2-$5 million for each at the unscheduled, as of yet, auction they plan to hold.

    You can see the date and the privy mark below LIBERTY in the photo below. The genius Treasurer, Brandon Beach, who is the one holding the coin, is not wearing gloves nor holding the coin by its edges. He's now holding a circulated coin with body oils being transferred to the coin. Yeeaaahh, some serious collector will pay multiple millions for that circulated zincoln cent.

    That’s one cent I can live without. I also don’t need it to complete my Lincoln Collection as it’s just a variety with fingerprints.
