Denver produced over 5.22 billion cents in 1998, bearing the "D" mintmark. The U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in August killed hundreds of people and were attributed to al-Qaeda, foreshadowing the threat that would culminate on September 11, 2001. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa captivated the nation with their home run chase, with McGwire hitting 70 to break Roger Maris's single-season record.
The 1998-D is common and easily obtained in all grades. Collectors include it without difficulty in their date-and-mintmark sets.
