Denver struck nearly 2.9 billion cents in 1970, another massive production year. The "D" mintmark identifies these coins. They entered circulation during a year marked by political turmoil, the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia, and growing social unrest on college campuses.
The 1970-D is extremely common and widely available in all conditions. Large quantities were saved in rolls, making mint-state examples plentiful.
