Well I took the time to count a few more cents for the cent project today. I pulled out the bag of 1969s and went through them. A total of 45 and I was surprised to find that 33 were from the Denver mint.

Surprised that is until I pulled out my copy of the Red Book and looked them up. That was a bumper year for the Denver mint with 4,002,832,200 cents minted there. Nearly 4 times as many as at Philadelphia (I had 11) and San Francisco only minted a little less then 3 million of which I found 1. It was also interesting to note that although several of my 1959 cents were full red and AU in condition, the 1969 cents were all well worn.
