Notes:
1964 would be the last year the Denver mint would issue the cent until 4 years later in 1968.
The 1964 cent has some interesting errors to be aware of. In no particular order they are; Struck on a Silver Dime Planchet error. There are plenty of these specimens floating around and they are selling for between $500 and $5,000 each on average. There are so many 1964 Pennies struck on dime planchets that there are even instances of double strike 1964 pennies on silver dime planchets. These errors are super easy to spot. Just look for the silverish looking penny. Next we have the 1964 Double and Triple Strike Cent-Double and triple strike errors are the correct size, but they may appear to the observer to be many coins melted together. 1964 was for certain a year of poor quality control at the United States mints. Next we have the common 1964 Clipped Planchet Cent- Clipped planchet errors occur fairly often with many coins and the specimens from 1964 are very similar to those from other years. Clipped planchet errors will have small crescent cuts on the edge of the cent where the metal has been clipped by the die. Off Center Strike Error - this error occurs when the die is misaligned and strikes the penny planchet off center. Thanks for reading.

How much is a 1964 D Penny worth?
This section is more of a layman's guide, for those new to collecting.
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 1 cent, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $12 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1964, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
