2019-W Proof Lincoln Cent

Glad, and also sad, to see that everyone else is getting junk as well. Usually it's just me that gets screwed.

There must be something with the production of this coin to have the damage appear on the same areas of the coin on every single Cent that has been sent out thus far. At least from the photos people have posted. We all got the same "error". LOL

 

I am sure there will be a market from cent collectors who are not set collectors.

Maybe the W is aliexpress for Weifang.

 

Since it was free from a governmental entity , and not available to the public as a monetary exchange for legal tender, is it a coin or a token?

 

Free or not, it's still does not excuse the poor quality of the coin. I'm sorry US Mint that doesn't give you a free pass on this one

 

My other 2 sets arrived today and the cents are awful, I'm sending them back.not just the cents but the rest of the proof sets. I did call the mint and you must return the cents and envelopes if you want a refund.
Oh by the way I ordered a PCGS PR69 $37.00.

 

Is that a MAD strike on your Proof Cent? Edit: looks like both are misaligned dies... strange.

 

It's an NCLT, which to me makes it a pseudo-coin, neither a coin or a token.

 

Hmm... I ordered "late" and it shipped yesterday. I hope it's okay.

 

Received my three sets and the pennies were stained in the same area on all three coins. Put them in air tites and threw them in a box. Like someone said, “there free”.

 

They are free, but it's pretty disheartening that something unique like these were treated with such carelessness. I hope the other finishes have better quality control.

 

Got my 2019-W cent today with my 2019 clad proof set. Here are some pictures.

 

Here are some pictures of the whole 2019 clad proof set package.

 

Surprised the mint would call it a proof penny when it is actually called a cent.

 

You've probably heard this one already by now, but just an FYI ... Mint inadvertently sells individual Proof 2019-W Lincoln cents, at face value. Here's the link to the CoinWorld article ... https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...ally-sells-2019-w-cents-individually.all.html

 

Darn, missed this opportunity! I don’t actually want the proof sets, just the cent from my alma mater.

 

This was addressed in another article saying it was safe.

Further down in the article, it addresses the marks on the coin. It seems it is a mint error and appears on all of the cents.

 

sorry about that.
got mine this week and it was ace

 

Mine seems OK, but the plastic bag is scratched.

 

I received mine but I'm afraid to open it.
