<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25592520, member: 104064&quot;]I don&#039;t believe it was intentional. Certainly not from start to finish. There&#039;s no reason to speculate about a damaged or worn out punch - they just never punched the die. Philadelphia punched the mint marks, and had total control over die manufacture until 1996 when Denver opened its own die making shop. So because SF never punched its own mint marks, for this to have been intentional someone in Philly had to coordinate with someone in SF - intentionally not punch the MM in Philly and then have someone intentionally coin them in SF. And then mint only two of them, and send them out in proof sets for some random customer to purchase. It doesn&#039;t make sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
