Amateur collectors popped out by the millions. They also started to notice that coins had mint marks and different ones had different values. They expanded their hoarding to every type of coin. The results were a temporary shortage and the government trying to correct it. For the next three years, 1965, 1966, 1968, the mint kept making coins in different locations just not labeling them.
As the silver market settled down and people moved on to the next craze the mint again started putting mint marks on coins.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / United States
Year: 1965
Mintage: 1,497,224,900
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Zinc
Value: $0.02 in EF-40
Do you have a cent and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
Thanks for keeping this blog alive Man! Would also like to congratulate you on the longevity of your blog (take a lot of commitment to this blog for so long!). I was looking at some of my older comments (2013 etc) and remembering the eagerness at which I waited for your reply. I still check this blog daily and now my collection has grown to over 2500 coins! (I'm to lazy to count and it would take far too long so it could be in the region of 3-3.5 thousand in reality). I still collect from my change and am always on the lookout for new coins to add to my collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great tips, comments and valuations and look forward to reading more of your content!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, I try.
I am working more and more so I have not updated regularly but I will try and keep this blog going until either the internet goes down or a zombie apocalypse.
I found a 1990 Denver mint nickel with what appears to me a long die crack which begins at the second 9 runs south to north to the star then cuts west biforcating the cheek then runs up the outline of the face terminating just past the hairline. Can't find much info on this curiosity you seem to have the info fountain can you please let me know what you can and where to get my millions?
