A 1913 penny is considered rare primarily due to the 1913 Liberty Head nickel, of which only five known specimens were minted under mysterious circumstances, not a penny per se. However, if you are referring to the 1913 Lincoln penny, its rarity would generally stem from factors like mint errors, low mintage numbers, or historical significance rather than being inherently rare like the 1913 Liberty Head nickel. Collectors often seek specific mint marks or variations that increase a coin's rarity and value.
