Stack's Bowers Galleries Auctions Final "Omega" Pennies for $16.76 Million
Stack's Bowers Galleries recently set a new benchmark in modern numismatics, realizing more than $16.76 million in a landmark auction conducted on behalf of the United States Mint for the final circulating Lincoln pennies. The four-hour auction featured 232 three-coin sets, including 2025 pennies struck in Philadelphia and Denver, as well as the first ever 24-karat gold penny. Each of these special coins exhibits a small "Ω" privy mark of the final Greek letter Omega, which symbolizes the conclusion of the penny's 232-year production history.
The auction generated an average lot value exceeding $72,000, with the final set achieving a record-setting $800,000, the highest price ever realized for a modern U.S. numismatic item. This $16.76 million sale is now the highest value auction of special coins sold on behalf of the United States Mint and marks the fifth time Stack's Bowers Galleries has been selected by the Mint for a marquee offering.
"This historic auction underscores the continued trust the United States Mint places in Stack's Bowers Galleries and reflects extraordinary global demand for significant numismatic rarities," said Brian Kendrella, President of Stack's Bowers Galleries. "The record-setting result highlights both the cultural importance of this moment and the strength of the high-end collector market."
