1965-1967

[Guest]

I bought a book a coulple years ago to keep track of my collections and what pennies I had. In the book it has 1965(p) 1965(d) 1965(s). It does this for all three years. I know that Philly ment was the only one put out in those years or I thought. Is this actually true that there was more than one mint each years, pds, or was Philly the only one? If there was more than one how can you tell the difference?

Hi lcaryy,

I'm going off of memory here but I think all 3 mints produced the coins for 65,66 and 67 but without mint marks to try and control collecting/hoarding. You can't tell the difference as far as I know. As for your album, I just checked my Whitman and it only has one hole for those years. I don't about Dansco. Who made your albums? Or did I misunderstand what you meant by book? Are you talking about an album that you put the coins in or a cataloging book where you put a check mark by the year/mint that you have.

Thanks,
Lestrrr

It is a check marking book to keep track of what I have. I have not seen a album that has different holes for each mm. but I made me curious on why they would put that in the marking book anyway, knowing that there is no difference with the pennies.

I would have to assume that it was just a typo then.

Happy Hunting,

There were no D or S mint cents for 1965, 66, or 67. I believe the cents were only minted in Philadelphia. There were Special Mint Sets for those same years, but none of them had mint marks either.

Im probably wrong but I seem to recall a discussion on here about special sets minted for those years other than the SMS sets, and being extremely rare. See if anyone else remembers or maybe Im thinking of something else. Joe

I don't know if your thinking of sets produced by third party companies but I don't think those are rare though. I've never checked.

i think everyone here is correct. 1965-67 cents were made without any mintmarks to distinguish what 3 mints they were minted at.

maybe the book was made with the assumption that mintmarks was going to be applied to coins ?

[nightowl]

Took me awhile but I remembered what it was. It was the 64 SMS sets that discussion was about. Joe

None of the coins minted in the United States during 1965-1967 had a Mintmark applied nor where there any proofs made.

[nightowl]

The books were probably made before the Mint decided to issue SMS sets for those years instead of the regular issue mint and proof sets made prior to 65 and after 67. Joe

This Book was printed by at least 2002 b/c it has that listed as the last cent on the Book. I guess it could have been printed earlier but I don't know why. We can't determine what we as a country will do with our currency two years in advance. So they would not try to figure out what they will do 40 years in advance. I will say that all the mint marks are in (). We do this on (p) to show what mint it came out of. So maybe that is a way of saying that the pennies were minted in the other mints but not shown as so???

THanks for all the information guys.

If this is the case, are there any years with (S) or (W)? Both made cents without mint marks for a number of years in the 70's to 80's.
