How much is a one cent penny from 1953 worth?

A one-cent penny from 1953 is considered a "memorial" penny, minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birth. However, its value remains at one cent.

These pennies were produced in large quantities, with over 2.5 billion minted. Their composition is 95% copper and 5% zinc.

While this penny does not hold much numismatic value above its face value, it can still be a cherished piece of history and a valuable addition to any penny collection.
