Eastyay New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 02:51 am Hello, curious about a coin I found earlier yesterday. It is a 1967 no mint mark penny. Not sure if no mint or is it nicked. Or not sure if the b is a E.any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Edited by Eastyay 08/23/2021 06:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

The Coinage Act of 1965 was enacted to discourage coin collecting due to a coin shortage after the mint changed from 90% silver to cupronickel clad coins. They also didn't mint any proof sets for these years. The mint marks were added back in 1968. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

Second, with regard to the B in LIBERTY, it looks like this area might have taken a stray hit from circulation. I don't think that it is a mint error.
