| Stupid question!!!
Am I correct in assuming that in 1965,1966,and 1967 there were only pennies,nickels,dimes,quarters, and halves minted in philidelphia. If so why were there none minted in denver during these years?

One step that was taken was that the Mint Director, Eva Adams, suspended mint marks to make it more difficult to distiguish coins according to Mint.
Also, and I found this quite interesting, coins (cents through half dollars) dated 1964 were minted as late as 1966 to create the "appearance" that the coins weren't being hoarded. That's the reason for the relatively high 1964 mintage figures.

Another trivia tidbit. None of the 1966 or 67 nickels were struck in Philadelphia, none of the 65, 66, or 67 halves were struck in Philadelphia and in fact ALL of the 1967 halves were struck in Denver.

I had always assumed that all mints were making everything but there just weren't any marks on them. Very interesting.

Does that mean that all three mints produced pennies, dimes, and quarters in those years?

Not a stupid question! I knew about the government blaming us (us = coin collectors) for a coin shortage, but I did NOT know about the coins not being made in Philadelphia. I too thought they were made at the mints but just not labeled.
Here's a question for those of us that might know: Is there any way to tell apart which mint they were made at? Specific die characteristics or...?

Wow, I'm in total awe. I had to check my entire collection to corroborate this one. Also, I didn't know that they made Denver coins without the D. Cool stuff folks!
