About this coinHistory

The 2015-D Lincoln Shield cent from the Denver Mint had a mintage of approximately 4.08 billion pieces, slightly below Philadelphia's output but still among the highest totals for any Denver cent production year. The two mints combined to produce over 8.7 billion cents in 2015, a volume that would have been almost unimaginable to the Mint's founders.

Denver's role in cent production has been consistent since 1911, when the facility first struck Lincoln cents. Over more than a century, Denver has produced hundreds of billions of Lincoln cents bearing the "D" mintmark. The 2015-D is a common date readily available in uncirculated rolls, but it documents a year of peak production in the Shield series. Collectors building complete date-and-mintmark sets include both the Philadelphia and Denver issues for each year.
