I do believe that 1961 penny is MS-67 grade.
Sorry, although I do have backside photos of these pennies, I don't know how to share multiple photos on Lemmy.
Mods, I do hope this is an acceptable post. Please let me know if not..

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]
Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]
Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

I mean I do think that given where inflation is at (and heading) that perhaps the penny and nickel don't need to really be made anymore, but I also know that many people love coins.
Realistically we could just stop buying washers at 10k a pop for our military and then we could afford to make coins forever, but that's a different conversation about government spending...
