1967 Lincoln Penny

Notes: No proofs or coins from the D or S mint were issued this year for some strange reason. Maybe they just didnt feel like getting out of bed or something?

1967 Red Cameo specimens in MS67 are the gold standard for this year and sell for between $450-$800.00 USD. A few specimens have been sold in either MS68 red CAM and or MS65 Deep Cameo for somewhere in the range of $1000-$4000.00 for those ultra high end collectors seeking something more. We are unaware of any specimens that are both MS68 RED and DCAM, although we are certain they exist somewhere. The takeaway from this is that the DCAM (Deep Cameo) designation is the most sought after feature buy buyers, with CAM (Cameo) MS67/MS68 coming in a close second.

What can you tell me about the 1967 Lincoln Penny?

1967 was a fairly uneventful year of no major significance really. MS65 red certified is our preferred bassline for a coin this year, and they are selling for around $50, as stated above DCAM and CAM are the big price multipliers.

What about 1967 Penny Errors?

Quick list of errors with a wide range of pricing estimates.

• Off Center Strike: $40-$500 highly dependent upon percentage off center as well as color and grades.
• Die Break/Crack: $30-$1,250, again depends on a slew of factors like color, grade, a severity of error.
• Clipped $5-$85: both curved and straight clipped 1967 cents are known. these are some of the cheapest types of errors to pic up for this year.
• Double Die $5-$1,250: DDR / DDO - this error coins value is more closely tied to the generic coin qualities like color and grade than doubling, unless severely doubled.
• Re-Struck Over Dime $800-$7250: these are more rare than the other error coins on this list, and this is greatly reflected in the overall sales price of this coin.
• Wrong Planchet: - similar to the error above this coin was struck on a 10c planchet, just not the finished product.
