Denver produced over 1.77 billion cents in 1963, a staggering quantity that underscored the growing demand for small-denomination coinage. The "D" mintmark below the date identifies these coins. They entered circulation during the same year that saw the assassination of President Kennedy, an event that profoundly altered the national mood.
The 1963-D is extremely common and can be found in large quantities in circulated and uncirculated grades alike. Its sheer abundance means that nice examples remain inexpensive and easy to locate.
