This is the cent in my 1965 Special Mint Set. I actually got it from... wait I'll say where in the final part. Special Mint Sets were issued because of the lack of coinage in circulation because people were hoarding the silver coins. They were made on polished dies but weren't treated like proof coins after they were struck. Back to this coin it was made at the San Fransisco Mint although it bears no mint mark (this is because the mints didn't want collectors plucking coins out of circulation if one mint mark was scarcer than the others). It is in Uncirculated (of course). It is worth about $0.15.
