The 1929 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was struck in approximately 185.3 million coins. The stock market crashed in October, ending the Roaring Twenties and beginning the Great Depression. The cents produced before the crash circulated in a prosperous economy; the cents still in circulation after October 29 served a country in freefall. The 1929 is common, but its date carries the weight of a watershed moment in American history.
