<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 268096, member: 7297&quot;]According to one site:A privy mark was originally a small mark or differentiation in the design of a coin for the purpose of identifying the mint, moneyer, or some other aspect of the coin&#039;s production or origin, for control purposes. Nowadays it is mainly used as a design and marketing feature.A great example of a well known Privy mark is the little eagle on the Franklin half. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also someone posted this:</p><p><br /></p><p>&lt;&lt; The U.S. Mint is also planning to combine an Uncirculated Presidential dollar coin with its companion First Spouse medal in an ongoing series of annual sets. The Mint has no timetable yet for the release of these sets, Eskridge said. The Mint will also offer two annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin sets, each containing six dollar coins. Each set will contain Uncirculated Mint set quality Presidential dollars, with Denver Mint coins in one set and Philadelphia Mint coins in the other, plus an Uncirculated Mint set quality Sacagawea dollar from the appropriate facility and an Uncirculated American Eagle 1-ounce .999 fine silver dollar with W Mint mark from the West Point Mint. &gt;&gt;</p><p><br /></p><p>This sounds like they may be doubling the sales of the silver eagles with these sets perhaps, so the 2006 W UNC silver eagle will be the key coin in the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
