The very last circulating pennies, or “cents,” were auctioned in a special sale in December 2025 by Stack’s Bowers Galleries, the firm selected by the United States Mint for an historic offering. Each of these coins exhibits a small “Ω” privy mark of the final Greek letter Omega, indicating their role as the capstone to a two-centuries long legacy that first began in 1793. These Omega privy mark Lincoln pennies will be offered in three-coin sets featuring one each of the 2025 penny (struck at the Philadelphia Mint), the 2025-D penny (struck at the Denver Mint), and a historic 2025 penny struck in 24 karat gold (produced at the Philadelphia Mint). The 24 karat gold penny is a true modern rarity, representing the first cent officially struck in gold and one of the rarest non-Proof gold coins to ever emerge from the United States Mint.

Obverse Description

Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date positioned on the right side.

An Omega (Ω) privy mark has been added in the left field.

Reverse Description

A shield with the words E PLURIBUS UNUM is centered with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the top periphery and ONE cent in a ribbon across the shield.
