Please explain where you got this cent! To me it looks like about a 63.

Well if that is your bag then search them for 67's - you can make a lot of money!

wow, what a conversation here!

and to the OP - it could have been in somebody's collection and then was released into the wild.

Yes, not unheard of to have 'old' BU++ cents pop up. As stated, a new cent could have been out of circulation shortly after being distributed. Could have spent decades at the bottom of an infrequently visited sock drawer, or just now freed from a BU roll hoard. Nice find!

In my pocket change, I have pennies from the 60s that look like they just came out of the mint. This forum told me that they are just spenders. I don't know much about that but you know better than I dk.

Sure is, 0.01

All kidding aside, put it in an album and call it a day. You can buy a roll of BU on ebay for a 10 bucks.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
