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]

And stay in circulation for sixty years evidently. I’d say we got our money’s worth.
Oh I wasn't making a comment on the value. I just think it's funny that it costs more than a penny to make a penny.
I'm no expert coin collector, but I do call myself paying a little attention here and there.
Sure, the pennies might only be worth face value at places right now, they might be worth way more in years to come...
