The Lincoln Cent, commonly referred to as the penny, was first issued in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The 1964 Lincoln Cent continues to be a popular collectible, known for its copper composition before the transition to zinc in later years. Collectors often seek out specific mint marks, such as those from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints, as well as variations in design and condition, which can significantly affect its market value. The demand for Lincoln Cents, particularly in uncirculated or higher-grade conditions, remains strong among numismatists.
