1973-D Polished Lincoln Cent Pendant Only

The 1973-D Lincoln Cent is a beautifully polished coin that gleams with a reddish-brown hue, characteristic of its 95% copper composition. The obverse features the iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln, facing right, with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" above his head and "LIBERTY" to the left. The reverse showcases the Lincoln Memorial, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" along the top edge and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" above the Memorial.

Historically, 1973 was a significant year for the U.S. Mint as it grappled with rising copper prices. This economic pressure eventually led to a change in the penny's composition in 1982, but in 1973, the copper content remained unchanged. This makes the 1973 Lincoln Cent not only a piece of numismatic history but also a tangible representation of the economic challenges of the time
