Yes, the final lot includes the cancelled die(s). Yes fingerprinters were clearly placed by the Treasurer and the pressman - it's in the video https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/penny-short-us-mints-final-1-cent-coins/story?id=127465330
Have any of the 230 1794 dollar “commemoratives” from a year ago resold? They mostly went for around $35k. This is the same shtick.
Yeah, if I'm gonna spend that much for something "Omega" , I'd get a Seamaster 300 , probably for a lot less than the Omega coins.
Mint has become a disgusting entity which is overusing its monopoly power. This latest stunt shows a total level of disrespect for the small collectors who got started with Lincoln Cents and have stuck with them for well over a century. If a private company played these games, the Justice Department would be after them under the Sherman Antitrust Act. I could probably afford to play, but I won't. I'd rather have a nice Chain Cent. Some day, I'd like to get an AMERI. Chain Cent.
