A List Of All 1967 Coins Worth Money

Some 1967 coins are worth money — a lot of money.

Granted, while most 1967 coin values aren’t all that high, there are some 1967 pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars you should definitely hang onto!

In this article, you will learn exactly what to look for on your 1967 coins — so you’ll know which ones you need to keep, and which ones are safe to spend.

Fun Facts About Coins From 1967

The U.S. Mint was maneuvering through a period of change and transition in 1967.

A few years earlier, the United States began experiencing a massive coin shortage. It was primarily driven by rising bullion prices — which led many people to pull 90% silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars from circulation because they were worth more for their intrinsic value than their face value.

To combat the rising silver prices, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a law in 1965 requiring dimes and quarters to be made from a copper-nickel clad composition. Likewise, the half dollar was debased to a 40% silver format.

Also to help deal with the coin shortage, the U.S. Mint temporarily removed mintmarks from coins in order to reduce collecting activity.

The U.S. Mint further redirected its resources by nixing its annual proof set program and mint set program, replacing them with the special mint set (SMS). The SMS set consists of 5 coins — cent through half dollar — with a special mint token as well.

Interestingly, 1967 was the last year of the mintmark moratorium and special mint set production. Mintmarks returned in 1968, as did the issuance of annual proof sets and mint sets.

Rare Error Coins From 1967 To Look For

Most 1967 coins were struck at the U.S. Mint correctly — although some may look odd due to post-mint damage or intentional alterations.

Here are some 1967 error and variety coins that were not struck correctly at the U.S Mint. These coins are worth a lot of money:

• 1967 doubled die coins — There aren’t many well-known doubled dies among 1967 coins. Those that do exist can bring anywhere from $20 to $50 for obscure doubled dies to more than $150, depending on the magnitude of the doubling and the specific variety.
• 1967 off-center coins — Off-center errors result when a coin isn’t struck perfectly square on the coin press. Values depend on the exact coin and how much of the design is missing. At a minimum, values start around $5 for a 1967 penny that is 5% to 10% off center to more than $500 for a 1967 Kennedy half dollar that is 50% off center and still shows a complete date.
• 1967 no ridge / smooth edge quarters — One of the most common error coin questions we receive involves no ridge smooth edge quarters. In most cases, these are just heavily worn quarters that have lost their ridges due to edge wear. Such pieces are worth their face value. However, there is a kind of error known as a broadstrike that can result in smooth edges — these are wider and thinner than normal and can be worth $20 to $30.
