I did collect coins when i wsa younger, touigh other things came about, so it slowly declined, but i still find it intresting, and have my collection. From my knowledge pennies in 1968 and 1969 were mnted but given the date 1967. Can that be confirmed? - fonzy

I don't know of any minted in 1968 or 1969, what's the source of your knowledge? Admittedly some odd things happened with 1967 dated pennies - being struck on thick or thin flans, or in nickel-brass. -- Arwel

I looked it up again, and acoridng to 1 of teh coin proce guides i have 1968-1969 + 1970(non proof), they were minted btu all dated 1967. -fonzy

[edit] 1901 PENNY'S VALUE

Bold textHOW MUCH IS THE 1901 PENNYS WORTH? I HAVE ONE, AND I'D LIKE 2 CASH IT IN. PLEASE TELL ME.

Not much at all. Probably in the nieghbourhood of 1-3 American dollars. (depending vastly on the condition. If it is in very good condition, it is worths significantly more than that) --Chopin-Ate-Liszt! 03:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
