Ask is what sellers were asking on active eBay listings of certified coins, fixed-price only — not what a coin sold for, and not our valuation. With enough listings at a grade, it's the middle 50% of their asking prices; with only a few, each asking price is shown. A single listing is shown only when its seller has an established eBay account with strong feedback. Sample is the number of listings behind each figure. Grades shown without a designation are plain examples.

History
Semiquincentennial issue, dual-dated "1776–2026." Collector-only San Francisco proof cent — struck in the normal copper-plated zinc (NOT silver, even in the Silver Proof Set) and as a regular proof (not a reverse proof). The one 2026-S proof cent is included in BOTH the standard 2026 Proof Set and the 2026 Semiquincentennial Silver Proof Set; it is a single issue, not two. Union Shield reverse, Brenner obverse.
