It's official. The Lincoln cent is no longer being struck for circulation.
Congress ended penny production in November 2025 — citing the cost (over 3 cents to produce each one-cent coin) and the operational burden on commerce.
Collectors will still get commemorative versions, including the dual-date 1776~2026 Lincoln cent being struck in 2026 only.
But the everyday penny — the one you got as change, the one your grandfather saved in a jar, the one every coin collector started with — is gone from circulation.
What this means:
1. The Lincoln cent series is now closed. Every date from 1909 to 2025 is a finite set. That matters for type and date collectors.
2. The 2025 Lincoln cent — the last year of circulation strikes — will be collected as a last-year issue, following the precedent of coins like the 1964 silver coins.
3. The 1909-S VDB, already the most famous key date in American numismatics, just became part of an officially completed series.
We’ve definitely seen stronger demand for complete Lincoln cent sets and better key dates lately, especially from younger collectors who are starting to appreciate the history, affordability, and long-term scarcity behind the series.
The most collected coin series in American history just got its ending written. That's historic.

This is a contrarian take. I'm aware.
The 1970s get no respect in American numismatics. Eisenhower dollars? Boring. Kennedy half dollars? Common. Clad Washington quarters? Who cares?
But here's what I see happening over the next 20 years:
The collectors who grew up in the 1970s — the people who pulled these coins from change as kids — are now in their 50s and 60s with disposable income and nostalgia.
Eisenhower dollars, particularly the Type 2 reverse varieties, the low-mintage proof issues, and the 40% silver Bicentennial version struck in San Francisco are already attracting sophisticated collector interest.
The 1976 Bicentennial coinage — quarters, half dollars, and Eisenhower dollars with the special reverse designs — just hit their 50th anniversary. Collectors love round numbers.
And almost nobody is paying attention.
The best time to find value in numismatics is before everyone else sees it. I'm watching the 70s very carefully right now.

I'll say this clearly because I think it needs to be said:
The biggest threat to new collectors in this market isn't the obvious fake in a drugstore flip.
It's the dealer — online or at a show — who's selling certified coins at retail premiums without understanding the coins they're selling.
Someone who bought a mixed lot at auction, found coins in PCGS and NGC holders, checked the price guide number, and priced accordingly.
No understanding of strike quality for the series. No knowledge of which varieties command premiums. No eye for whether the coin is high-end or low-end for the grade.
A slabbed coin is not a guarantee of value. It's a guarantee of authentication and grade accuracy. Those are not the same thing.
The difference between a dull MS-64 Morgan and a frosty, fully struck MS-64 Morgan in the same holder? Hundreds of dollars, maybe thousands, depending on the series.
Buy from people who can tell you about the coin, not just read you the label.

In 1855, the Adams Express Company was shipping gold dust from the California goldfields to New York via stagecoach.
Somewhere between San Francisco and New York, $45,000 in gold disappeared.
The boxes arrived sealed. The seals were unbroken. But when they were opened — the gold was gone, replaced with lead shot.
The investigation took 6 months and was one of the first major criminal cases handled by what would become a model for the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
The culprit: Edward Eastman, a company clerk who had access to the boxes during their New York layover. He'd drilled through the bottoms, extracted the gold, replaced it with lead, and resealed the boxes so perfectly that the exterior showed nothing.
He was caught because he started spending.
Nothing reveals a thief faster than suddenly having money they shouldn't have.
Gold has always attracted the most creative criminals. And the most creative investigators.

Ten years changes everything.
2016: Key-date Morgan Dollars were accessible. Type coins in high grades were findable at shows. The CAC sticker was a nice-to-have, not an expectation.
2026: The same coins have tripled or more. Top-pop registry competition has pulled the finest examples permanently off the market. CACG as a full grading service has added a new authentication layer to the conversation.
What drove the shift?
First: generational wealth transfer. The Baby Boomer collections are coming to market and being absorbed by Gen X and Millennial collectors who spent a decade watching and waiting.
Second: the pandemic supercharged hard asset interest. People who'd never thought about gold or coins started paying attention after 2020.
Third: the explosion of online auction platforms made price discovery global. That $300 coin at a local show is $600 on GreatCollections because 40,000 people are watching.
Over the past decade, we’ve seen more generations enter the hobby, growing interest in key dates, and a younger, more knowledgeable collector base helping grow the brand. It’s been an amazing journey to watch.
The market is more efficient, more competitive, and harder to find value in than it was 10 years ago. That's not a complaint — it's a reality check.
