<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 3672797, member: 21705&quot;]A point of confusion for the young collector is that the addition of a P mint mark to some coins occurred before they were born. Those of us who are older remember the time when there had never been a P mint mark.</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/addition-of-the-p-mint-mark.287860/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/addition-of-the-p-mint-mark.287860/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/addition-of-the-p-mint-mark.287860/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>An interesting factoid is that your dime was minted the year they restored mint maks to the branch mints of Denver and San Francisco after a three year hiatus (1965,1966 and 1967). I remember arguing with a neighbor who claimed to have found a new cent with a mint mark because I KNEW as a ten year old &quot;expert&quot; that they had stopped putting mint marks on coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back then, you didn&#039;t have the internet and I hadn&#039;t picked up a copy of COINS or COINAGE magazine at the news stand that year. I was still using my dad&#039;s 1962 Blue Book for information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
