About this coinHistory

Denver produced over 4.44 billion cents in 1992, bearing the "D" mintmark. Like Philadelphia, Denver also produced a Close AM variety, though it is separately listed. The standard 1992-D is extremely common and available in all grades at minimal cost.

The coins circulated during the presidential election year that saw Bill Clinton win a three-way race. The 1992-D is a routine date-and-mintmark entry for collectors. Those searching for the Close AM variety should examine the reverse carefully, as the standard Wide AM is far more common.
