The 1931 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was struck in approximately 19.4 million coins, a sharp decline reflecting the Depression's impact on economic activity and coin demand. The lower mintage gives the 1931 a modest premium but does not make it a semi-key. The economy was in its second year of contraction, and the Mint was producing less of everything.
