The 1967 Lincoln Penny: a coin minted without a mint mark, signifying its production at the Philadelphia Mint.
A year with no proof sets, the 1967 penny's value can be significant, especially for coins in pristine condition.
Circulated 1967 pennies are common, but collectors seek out uncirculated coins with no wear and original luster.
Special characteristics, such as double die errors, can greatly increase a 1967 penny's value to collectors.
The coin's composition is 95% copper and 5% zinc, making it a target for those interested in copper value.
Grading condition is key: 'Fine' to 'Mint State' can range from a few cents to several hundred dollars.
Special mint sets of 1967 were issued, which can be more valuable than regular circulation coins.
Storage and preservation affect value; proper care can maintain the penny's condition and worth.
Always verify authenticity and consult a professional before buying or selling to ensure accurate valuation.
