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..

The penny being shoddy and sparely produced is a great analogy for America in 2025. If we can't get a humble coin right (one that was produced for more than a century) what hope do we have for anything more complex?
There's been calls to abolish pennies since the 1990s. I don't have a strong opinion on it personally, but there's okay arguments in favor of it.
