The year 2025 marked the final time the United States Mint struck pennies for circulation, officially ending a tradition that spanned more than two centuries. To commemorate this milestone, the US Mint issued a special Omega edition of US pennies. This exclusive three-coin set honors the conclusion of America’s smallest denomination while establishing itself as the lowest-mintage penny set in US history. Right now, the 2025 3-Coin Omega Privy Pennies Lot #203 are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 2025 3-Coin Omega Privy Pennies Lot #203 set comes with three coins, each one individually packaged in a plastic slab. The 24-karat gold penny is graded Mint State 69, while both circulation copper pennies are graded Mint State 65 with the RD designation. This stands for Red and indicates the copper pennies have at least 95% of their original red copper coloration visible. The 24-karat gold penny and the Denver Mint circulation penny both have CAC authentication of the grade.
CAC verification adds an additional level of confidence to coins that have already been graded by PCGS or NGC. Coins that receive a green or gold CAC sticker have been reviewed and confirmed to meet the organization’s established standards for quality within their assigned grade. For buyers, the CAC sticker serves as an indicator that the coin represents a premium example for its classification. Green stickers specifically identify coins that are considered high-end or solid representatives of their numerical grade.
With record-low production figures, the 2025 3-Coin Omega-Privy Penny Set holds the lowest mintages ever achieved for the Lincoln Penny. To provide perspective, these mintages are roughly 2,000 times lower than those of the famous 1909-S VDB Lincoln Penny and significantly lower than the production numbers of the 1793 Chain Reverse Penny, the first penny struck in United States history. The commemorative mintage of 232 sets points to the 232-year history of the US penny, with the coins issued continuously from 1793 to 2025.
On the obverse of each coin in the 2025 3-Coin Omega-Privy Penny Set is the well-known right-profile portrait of President Abraham Lincoln. This design is accompanied by an Omega privy mark, added to signify the final chapter of penny production in American coinage. The Omega symbol, as the last letter of the Greek alphabet, was selected to reflect the conclusion of this historic denomination.
The reverse design on the 2025 Omega-Privy Penny showcases the Union Shield. This modern reverse was introduced in 2010 and replaced the Lincoln Memorial design that appeared on pennies from 1959 through 2008.
