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…

Apologies, that wasn’t specifically aimed at you. Many people seem to use the manufacturing cost vs the face value of a penny as a reason to eliminate it. Those were the people that I was aiming the question at.
I mean I do think that given where inflation is at (and heading) that perhaps the penny and nickel don’t need to really be made anymore, but I also know that many people love coins.
Realistically we could just stop buying washers at 10k a pop for our military and then we could afford to make coins forever, but that’s a different conversation about government spending…
