<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2591723, member: 5233"]I know the history of the war nickels...probably should have mentioned that in my original post. You are correct, the SBA had a 'P' mark in 1979. But the Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime, Washington Quarter and Kennedy Half got the 'P' mark in 1980 and have had it ever since. I'm more curious what prompted the addition of the 'P' mark to all US coinage beginning in 1980 (with the exception of the cent) and why the cent was left out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
