| United States Mint of Denver, United States (1906-date) | |
| United States Mint of Philadelphia, United States (1792-date) | |
| United States Mint of West Point, United States (1973-date) | |

The standard weight of this coin was 48 grains.
From 1959 to September 5, 1962 these coins were minted with 95% Copper and 5% Tin and Zinc. After September 5, 1962 and until 1982 these coins were minted with 95% Copper and 5% Zinc (Brass).
From 1965 to 1967, these coins were minted in Philadelphia and Denver without a mintmark.
Cents dated 1968-1974 bearing an "S" mintmark are most likely not proofs. The San Francisco Mint struck this coin for circulation as well as all proofs for this type. "S" cents dated 1975 and later are always proofs.
From 1974 through 1986, a number of these coins were minted in the United States Bullion Depository, West Point. These coins lacked a mintmark and were indistinguishable from the Philadelphia issue.

The upper die on the photos was in use in 1971 and 1972 years for all issues, the lower - in 1971 only for all issues.

1981S
1982
The year 1982 is a transition: the earliest coins were struck in 95% copper, and the latest coins were struck in copper plated zinc. One of the most noticeable differences between the two is the weight (3.11 grams versus 2.50 grams).
