The 1941 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia was produced in approximately 887.0 million coins. Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941. The cent struck before that date served a peacetime economy; the cent still in circulation after December 7 served a nation at war. The 1941 is very common, its enormous mintage reflecting the pre-war industrial boom.
