The world today is as far removed from 1961 as it was removed from 1901 in 1961. I know that in 1961 I considered 1901 to be almost B.C.
1961 appears the same upside down. A buddy posted a picture on his website on April 1, of a 1961 penny he held upside down. He asked what is an upside down stamped penny worth?
Some fell for it!
