Coin collector advised purchasing the Semiquincentennial dual date penny, how do I actually do this?
Met a guy in a waiting room making small-talk about my pregnancy (due in 2 months). He talked about his coin collection and strongly recommended that I purchase the Semiquincentennial dual date penny, as something that would eventually (like in 50 years) be a pretty valuable keepsake to pass on to my 2026 baby.
Here's what I found when trying to search for a place to purchase the penny:
>Which 2026 U.S. Mint Sets Include the Dual-Date Penny?
>2026 U.S. Mint Silver Proof Set (TBD release), >2026 U.S. Mint Proof Set (Expected summer 2026 release), >2026 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set (Anticipated for release on June 30, 2026.)
As someone who has no idea what the difference is between mint proof set and uncirculated set, which of these do you think the guy was referring to? Or is it something different that is yet to be announced?
