The 1973 Lincoln Cent (1 cent) with the Memorial Reverse, produced in Philadelphia, is part of the Lincoln penny series that began in 1909. The Memorial Reverse design, featuring the Lincoln Memorial, was introduced in 1959 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. These coins are made primarily of copper-plated zinc and are highly sought after by collectors, particularly in uncirculated condition or with unique minting errors. While common in circulation, higher-grade examples can be valuable.
