So these will have a ZERO population of UNCIRCULATED coins?

 

If you took the cent directly out of the 2017 Philadelphia Uncirculated mint set, would that be identified any differently than a coin out of a roll.

 

with this year's cents, no, but with some uncirculated sets yes

 

Since a LOT of people have been buying up rolls and boxes of these, sometimes at a significant premium, they will have a huge population of uncirculated coins in the future.

 

Late to reading the article, but that's the biggest bunch of bullcrap I've ever read. It wasn't kept secret either. I knew months before it was released. How do these things make it to print?

 

You knew months before? Where did you get your information? Do you work at the Mint? Because that article came out in early January So you would have had to know in say Oct before they even stated making the dies for the coming year. As far as I know there were no announcements ahead of time so you would have to have had an inside source.

 

I read an article on line. That article is after the fact. You do realize they start making the next year's coins in the previous year. For example, 2018 cents are being produced now.

 

Yes I do, Usually starting about a month before the end of the year. You indicated you knew months (plural) before the article. That would be before they started making them. And from the article it is apparent that both the mint news blog, and Coin World, both companies that keep in close contact with the mint, didn't know about it. It seems unlikely an article would have appeared months before that they hadn't heard about. And which apparently no one else saw. Yours is the only claim I have heard of someone knowing about it before they appeared in circulation.

 

I don't remember where I read it but it was early.

 

Try to ball park when you read it (month/year).
