1965 Lincoln Cent Rare?

Thanks guys.

I found this in the interest of thoroughness;

"Nearly the entire mintage of 1965-dated cents was performed during the first seven months of 1966. During that time the Philadelphia Mint struck 300,385,000 pieces, Denver 973,364,900, and San Francisco brought up the rear with 222,390,000. The total output was 1,497,224,900 pieces, all of them unidentifiable as to their actual year and mint of manufacture!"

This would suggest that there would actually be a few more in a sample from the west coast as opposed to the east coast. Even in the mid to late-'60's cents didn't travel enough to get completely mixed nationwide. Look how many more S mint coins from the era are on the west coast.

cladking: Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

Is it also possible that the 1965 cent mintage numbers reflect some pennies dated 1964. I do believe 1964 pennies were minted in 1965 as well, such as the same with other denominations. I always felt the 1965 cent mintage was too high and the 1964 cent mintage numbers were too low based on what you find in circulation.
