LOT 10232: THE VERY LAST CENTS AND DIES

 

Omega Privy Mark 2025 Lincoln Cents Three-Coin Set. The Last Circulating Cents. Set Number 232 of 232. (PCGS).

Set #232 of 232, corresponding to 2025. Included are:

• 2025 24 Karat Gold Cent, Omega Privy Mark, MS-69 (PCGS)
• 2025 Circulating Cent, Omega Privy Mark, MS-64 RD (PCGS)
• 2025-D Circulating Cent, Omega Privy Mark, MS-66 RD (PCGS)

 

 

This set represents the VERY LAST cents struck in the classic circulating finish, the true Omega to the Alpha first rendered in 1793. It is impossible to overstate the historic nature of these three pieces, which are likely the most significant coins to emerge from the United States Mint this century. Each of these three coins stands as the crowning jewel of their respective issues-Philadelphia Mint cents, Denver Mint cents, and elite American gold coins-which instantly elevates the winning bidder to prestigious level of within these categories. Additionally, the Philadelphia Mint circulating cent and the 24 Karat gold cent was struck by United States Treasurer Brandon Beach, who personally operated the presses on their final stamping for the series.

Also presented with this set are the canceled original three pairs of dies used to strike the entire run of Omega cents. Included are:

• 2025 Philadelphia Mint circulating cent obverse and reverse dies (Serial #P250721804 and P990097849 )
• 2025-D Denver Mint circulating cent obverse and reverse dies (Serial # D250440791 and D990857212)
• 2025 24 Karat gold cent obverse and reverse dies (Serial # P250801027 and P990320202).

 

These dies are historic relics of not only American coinage but of our nation's economic journey as a whole. They are likely the only one cent dies available for private ownership which have not been completely effaced.
