Yours is S-121b as well (the other variety is S-120b). The theory I&#039;ve heard is that it could have been used to mark planchets coming from a specific source. Before the Mint started importing high-quality Boulton copper from the UK they used pretty much whatever copper they could get their hands on (most of it was pretty bad quality).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
