Design and Specifications of the 1967 Cent
The 1967 Lincoln Cent continued the long-standing tradition of honoring America's 16th president. This year marked the eighth year of the Lincoln Memorial reverse design, which had replaced the Wheat Ears design in 1959. The coin was minted during a period of increasing copper prices, which would eventually lead to changes in the coin's composition in later years.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 1967 Lincoln Cents. While circulated examples are extremely common and typically worth only face value, uncirculated specimens can command significant premiums. Coins in MS65 and MS66 are readily available, but the value increases substantially for coins graded MS67 and above.
Key factors affecting condition include:
- Strike quality: Well-struck coins with sharp details are more desirable
- Luster: Coins with original, vibrant mint luster are highly sought after
- Contact marks: Fewer marks, especially on Lincoln's cheek and in the fields, increase value
- Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance a coin's appeal and value
Mintage: 3,048,667,100
Rarity Scale: Common
Circulation Status: Widely Circulated
Preservation Rarity: Common in grades up to MS66, scarce in MS67, and rare in MS68
Varieties Errors: None significant
Market Demand: Moderate, primarily for high-grade specimens
While the 1967 Lincoln Cent is generally common, certain factors can increase its value:
- Full Steps: Coins with clearly defined steps on the Lincoln Memorial reverse are more valuable
- Die Varieties: Although no major varieties are known, minor die variations can interest specialized collectors
- Proof Issues: Proof versions were minted in San Francisco, but without a mint mark. These have higher value, especially in top grades
- Roll Premium: Original, unopened rolls from 1967 may command a premium
The historical significance of the Lincoln Cent series and its enduring popularity among collectors ensure a steady demand for high-quality examples of the 1967 issue.
