<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Sims, post: 1858867, member: 59688&quot;]My understanding as to why no mint marks were used from 1965-67 was that the San Francisco Mint coins were not intended to be struck in high numbers for circulation but to get the new employees familiar with the equipment and up to speed for the production of proof coins. Mint officials didn&#039;t want the San Francisco Mint struck coins to disappear from circulation and hoarded like what happened to the 1950-D nickel when collectors found out they were such a low mintage. San Francisco minted far fewer coins those years than Philadelphia and Denver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
