How many 1967 pennies were made

In 1967 the U.S. Mint struck about 3.05 billion Lincoln cents for circulation: Philadelphia 907.6 million, Denver 1.33 billion, San Francisco 813.7 million, San Francisco 1.9 million. That is 39% more than 1966. Among the 117 years from 1909 to 2025, 1967 ranks number 58 by total mintage (1 = most coins made), so it is a mid-range date for availability. The scarcest 1967 issue by mintage is San Francisco (1,863,344); the most common is Denver (1,327,377,100). Within the 1960s, 1967 ranks 4 of 10 years for mintage; the decade's high was 1964 (6.45 billion) and its low was 1965 (1.50 billion). Mint by mint: Philadelphia rose 12% from 1966; Denver rose 34% from 1966; San Francisco rose 112% from 1966; San Francisco fell 100% from 1966.

Mint marks on a 1967 penny

No 1967 cent carries a mint mark: the Mint left mint marks off all coins from 1965 to 1967. A blank space under the date is normal for this year.

What to check on a 1967 penny

  • No U.S. coins carried mint marks in 1965, 1966 or 1967, so a cent from these years never shows a D or S. A missing mint mark is normal here and does not indicate an error or a rarity.
  • Cents from this era are 95% copper and weigh 3.11 g. A coin with this date that weighs about 2.5 g is a plated or altered piece, not a transitional error (zinc cents only begin in 1982). Small raised blobs or lines between letters, especially between the B and E of LIBERTY, are die breaks (collectors call them BIE cents); they are common and carry little premium.
  • True die doubling is rounded and separated; flat, shelf-like doubling is machine doubling and adds nothing. The mint marks guide has side-by-side examples.

How much is a 1967 penny worth?

PCGS Price Guide values for 1967 cents (updated September 24, 2026, U.S. dollars, for coins certified by PCGS):

  • 1967: $8 in MS63 RD and $20 in MS65 RD.

San Francisco is the lowest-mintage 1967 issue (1,863,344 struck), so it is the mint collectors check first. Guide prices assume a certified coin; an uncertified, worn 1967 cent usually sells for less than the lowest figure above, often little more than face value. RD means full original red copper, RB red-brown, BN brown; the color grade can multiply the price. How grade and variety turn into a number is explained in what makes a coin valuable.
