The 1921 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was produced in approximately 39.2 million coins, a sharp decline from the wartime peaks. The post-war recession of 1920-1921 reduced demand for coinage as economic activity contracted. The 1921 is available in circulated grades but slightly less common than the high-mintage years that preceded it.
