About this coinHistory

The Philadelphia Mint produced over 3.76 billion cents in 2007. The housing bubble burst. Subprime mortgage defaults surged, and the financial system began to crack. Bear Stearns hedge funds collapsed in June. The crisis was still in its early stages, and most Americans had not yet grasped the magnitude of what was unfolding. Apple released the first iPhone in June, launching the smartphone era.

The 2007 Philadelphia cent carries no mintmark and is common in all grades. It circulated during the opening phase of what would become the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Collectors include it as a standard date.
