★PRESALE: 2026-S U.S. Mint Proof Lincoln Shield Cent | 250th Anniversary 1776-2026★
Up for grabs is a brand new, straight from the mint, 2026 San Francisco Proof Lincoln Shield Cent. These are part of a set, that were made special for the 250th birthday of the USA. These will feature Lincoln on the Obverse with the dual 1776-2026 date, a reverse with the shield; both of which will have frosted fields and mirrored devices.
This is the only year this design will be featured, and only has a limited amount being minted. Making these unique, and relatively rare. Which means, these are a great addition to anyone who loves collecting coins.
What you will receive:
- 1 × 2026 San Francisco Proof Lincoln Shield Cent, which will be removed from mint set and individually packaged
- Photos shown are stock images, not the exact coin(s) you'll receive.
Availability, Shipping and Handling:
I have 40 proof sets currently on pre-order with the US Mint. These sets have not shipped from the Mint yet, but are expected to on October 6, 2026. Once I receive them, I will aim to have them shipped to you, within 24-48 hours.
I will keep you informed on:
- When the total order is finalized with the mint
- When they ship to me, and expect to have them
- Expected ship to you date
- Actual ship to you date
Please note:I work unpredictable, often intense hours as a resident physician. While I aim to ship within 24-48 hours of receiving my order from the Mint, there may occasionally be a short delay. I will always communicate promptly if this happens.
Condition Disclaimer:
These sets arrive sealed directly from the U.S. Mint. I have not opened, graded, or inspected individual coins. I am not a professional numismatist or grading service and make no guarantee about how individual coins would grade. Please buy with the understanding that this is Mint-sealed, ungraded product.
***Thanks for supporting my small coin-selling side hustle, and happy collecting!***
