Lincoln cent and planchett set

Didn't the mint use to, or do they still currently sell a set that includes a lincoln cent and a blank cent planchett in a sealed package?

I'm just curious as I have seen several sets on ebay like this from different years.

Thanks

I remember hearing about something like this years ago, but, I have never seen it or any such mint packaging.

 

I think that they are referring to the Mint Logo Medallion (or whatever you call it) that comes in each Mint Set!

This is one of the things I was talking about. From ebay

This one is for a 2004 cent with planchet, I have seen recently a 2005 and a 2006. Could someone else be manufacturing these?


I also found this one...

Post mint packaging.

 

The mint has an educational set with a zinc penny planchet and a proof half dollar amongst other things.

It was one of the few reasonably priced items they have.

let's see if we can link directly.

 

It's Mint packaging. They give these out on special tours. You may be able to buy them as well from the gift shops. We have a ton of them at the ANA.

 

The Mint has provided these to our Coin Club to be given to YNs at the coin shows and meetings. They have a bunch of stuff that they used to give us for the kids (still do I believe). They had book covers and book marks for the State Quarters and the State Quarter Collection Boards as well.

 

the mint will usually also give out samples at the ana fairs (i.e. the nat'l money show and the world's fair of money)

 

"To highlight the coin manufacturing process, this set includes a one-cent planchet, a pair of circulating one-cent coins, a pair of satin-finish uncirculated dimes and a proof-condition half-dollar. This set illustrates many features and finishes found throughout our Nation's coinage. The booklet also briefly discusses the history, design and manufacturing processes that have contributed to more than two centuries of American coinage."

I was wrong, sorry.
