About this coinHistory

Denver struck over 6.42 billion cents in 1993 with the "D" mintmark. The Great Flood of 1993 devastated the Mississippi and Missouri River basins during the summer, causing billions of dollars in damage and displacing tens of thousands of people across nine states. The flooding was among the worst natural disasters in American history.

The 1993-D is extremely common. Its large mintage ensures that collectors face no difficulty finding examples in any grade. The coin is a routine inclusion in date-and-mintmark sets.
