The 1912 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was produced in a mintage of over 68 million coins. The Titanic sank in April 1912. New Mexico and Arizona became the 47th and 48th states. The cent is common and available in all grades. The second full decade of the twentieth century was underway, and the Lincoln cent was firmly established as the country's small-change workhorse.
