Denver struck over 4.87 billion cents in 1987, bearing the "D" mintmark. The coins entered circulation during the year of the Black Monday stock market crash and the Iran-Contra hearings. Despite the market upheaval, the broader economy continued to grow, and the crash did not trigger the recession many feared.
The 1987-D is common in all grades. Billions were produced, and ample supplies remain for collectors seeking examples in any condition.
