<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1858949, member: 112&quot;]The reason they quit using mint marks for those 3 years was because there was a coin shortage at the time and they (the govt) blamed coin collectors for that shortage. So the idea was if there were no mint marks on the coins the collectors would not try to collect them because none could be differentiated from each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course collectors weren&#039;t the reason for the coin shortage at all. And it took them 3 years to become convinced of that and start putting mint marks back on coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
