<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 24712628, member: 31533&quot;]BTW, the 1964 cents, which were continued into 1965 to mint them (most coins generally only get minted in the year that it is issued in or dated with) is a huuuuuuuuuuge run of coins. In the billions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not only was there a huge run of coins, but because of previous coin shortages, the mint was determined to flood the country with coins. And then there was the issue of allowing the next year to continue the production of the 1964 coins for general circulation. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, the mint was also determined to try to stop coin collectors from &#039;causing&#039; the coin shortage and to do so, they began a few years of really poor dies, etc. Starting to collect coins in the years between about 1963 and 1972 was pitiful for strike in so many cases. </p><p><br /></p><p>But bad quality is not &#039;error&#039;.
