[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 23539701, member: 78298"]If they are 10 years apart it happened outside of the mint, intentionally to trick someone into thinking it's some rare and valuable error. While not impossible (cough, cough) it's unlikely there are 10 year old coins laying around the mint, waiting to be struck again. The 1957 was struck at Denver. The 1965,66 and 67 coins have no mintmarks, but were struck at all 3 mints. It's certainly nice to have a copper cent with the memorial and wheat back, but I don't see how this could be a legitimate coin error.
