I can't help but notice that 1964 LMCs in great condition seem to be in abundance. Is there a logical explanation for that?

Thinking concerns of hoarding silver caused a major increase in production of all denominations this year. Thanks, Doug.

Roll hoarding was big at the time and they made nearly 6.4 billion of them. So a LOT of BU bags and rolls of them got put away.

Also that was the last year of the circulated silver halves. So all were saved with the silver hoarding that started that year when they announced the clad coins were coming to replace silver coins. Silver disappeared quickly. Thus the mints need to crank out a lot of Clads in 1965-1967 with no mint marks, to keep the saving for collectors reduced without so many mint marks.
