The 1932 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was produced in approximately 9.1 million coins, one of the lowest Philadelphia mintages in the series. The Depression was at its worst. Unemployment exceeded 20%. Banks were closing by the thousands. The Mint produced barely enough cents to maintain a trickle of new coinage. The 1932 is not a key date but is less common than typical Philadelphia issues and carries a modest premium.
