Intriguing History

Denver struck a modest run of cents in 1924, a year when the postwar recession of the early 1920s was giving way to the economic boom of the Roaring Twenties. The relatively low mintage has made the 1924-D a respected semi-key date for collectors building a complete set of wheat cents.
