Would you buy the U.S. 2026 Uncirculated mint set just to get the new 2026 penny?

The Lincoln cent is now obviously only being produced in special collectors editions, and is in the official mint sets. The new 2026 penny features the 1776-2026 dates on the obverse, which did not appear on 1976 penny. Currently on Ebay, to get the complete P&D uncirculated mint set, it is $183. For those die hard fans of Lincoln cent collecting, who want to update their folders/albums, would you purchase the set for this reason?

No.

 

Currently the subscription for these at the mint is unavailable, but there will be a chance to purchase when they go on sale June 30th at noon ET, price of $124.50.

I already have a couple of them on subscription, but if not, I would be on trying to get them when they go on sale. That will likely be difficult as a lot of others will be doing the same thing.

If I did not have the subscription and did not get any when they go on sale, I would give it some time for the secondary market to work through and hope the prices drop.

 

No.

 

No, zero chance I will.
