Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1926894, member: 66"]The roller press tests were in 1965 -69 (and the press was eventually set up in the new Philadelphia mint that would open in 1969)    Supposedly some 1968 and 1969 cents may have actually been struck using to press  but no 64's.  Most of the pieces struck by the press are test designs or "nonsense" piece.  A good article including images of the test pieces can be found at <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=RzWG4iHWBvsC&pg=PA51&lpg=PA51&dq=1969+roller+press+trial&source=bl&ots=3v1uJ61bYb&sig=7qEbi1wIsT9LzCqWzNANEeSpXRw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UHt_U6_EC4OmyATPwoGQBA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=1969%20roller%20press%20trial&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://books.google.com/books?id=RzWG4iHWBvsC&pg=PA51&lpg=PA51&dq=1969+roller+press+trial&source=bl&ots=3v1uJ61bYb&sig=7qEbi1wIsT9LzCqWzNANEeSpXRw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UHt_U6_EC4OmyATPwoGQBA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=1969%20roller%20press%20trial&f=false" rel="nofollow">http://books.google.com/books?id=RzWG4iHWBvsC&pg=PA51&lpg=PA51&dq=1969+roller+press+trial&source=bl&ots=3v1uJ61bYb&sig=7qEbi1wIsT9LzCqWzNANEeSpXRw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UHt_U6_EC4OmyATPwoGQBA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=1969 roller press trial&f=false</a>[/QUOTE]
