Denver produced over 5.25 billion cents in 1988, bearing the "D" mintmark. The U.S. drought of 1988 was one of the worst in decades, devastating crops across the Great Plains and the Midwest. The drought raised food prices and drew attention to concerns about climate change that were just entering public discourse.
The 1988-D is extremely common and carries no premium. It is available in quantity at face value and represents a routine entry for collectors building date-and-mintmark sets.
