The 1913 Lincoln cent from the Philadelphia Mint is a categorically common coin, though it is extremely difficult in high-end uncirculated grades. In the grade of MS67, it is perhaps the second-toughest issue to locate after only the 1914 Philadelphia cent. Of course, this is not surprising given that relatively few examples of any Lincoln cents from this period were saved in large quantities.
