United States 2001 1 Cent USD Copper Circulated

Key Facts & Value

Key Fact

Historical significanceThe Lincoln penny commemorates the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, who led the nation through the Civil War and worked to end slavery.

Design EvolutionThe penny has undergone several design changes since its inception in 1793, with the Lincoln design introduced in 1909 to mark the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.

Material ChangeIn 1982, the composition of the penny shifted from primarily copper to zinc with a copper plating due to rising copper prices.

Value Fact

The value of a 2001 Lincoln penny, in circulated condition, is typically low due to high mintage. However, uncirculated coins or those with errors can fetch higher prices among collectors. Factors such as rarity, condition, and historical significance can elevate its market value.

The allure of this coin lies not just in its face value but in its connection to a pivotal figure in American history, making it a cherished item among collectors.
