Salute to the First and Last United States Pennies
In 1793, the newly formed United States Mint undertook the striking of its first circulating coin, the 1793 Chain Cent. Some 232 years later, the unbroken chain of US minted pennies ended with the 2025 Lincoln Penny. Never again would U.S. pennies be struck for circulation. Now you can experience both of these landmark mintings in our Salute to the First and Last United States Pennies.
First is our privately minted, non-monetary 100% Pure Copper salute to the large-sized 1793 Chain Cent—the very first circulating coin to be struck by our government. Its unique design would never be repeated in America’s coinage. Its large size (27 mm) is nearly twice the diameter and over twice the weight (13 gm) of modern cents. And each tribute is beautifully proof struck using American-mined and fabricated pure copper. You also receive a stunning, U.S. legal tender, Brilliant Uncirculated 2025 Lincoln Penny – one of the last of its kind. When production and minting costs soared far beyond the penny’s face value, the decision was finally made to discontinue striking pennies for circulation, bringing hundreds of years of tradition crashing to a close. Suddenly, 2025 pennies are hot collectibles, with some retailers offering individual cents for $4, $5, even $9 each. But you’ll get a FAR BETTER DEAL!
We urge you not to delay. A copper shortage of over 330,000 metric tons is expected in 2026 alone! Already copper prices are up 68% in just the last four years. While we can’t predict the future, one thing is certain: rising demand for this precious metal of the future could only enhance the value of this Salute to the First and Last United States Pennies.
