Denver produced over 3.54 billion cents in 1973, bearing the "D" mintmark. The coins circulated during a year of political crisis and economic disruption. The oil embargo drove gasoline prices sharply higher and introduced the concept of energy scarcity to a generation of Americans accustomed to cheap fuel.
The 1973-D is extremely common and available in large quantities. Mint-state examples are easily found from saved rolls and bags.
