[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1903212, member: 68"]Sorry. I misremembered. In actuality it was in 1975 that the mint suddenly came to believe they had to mint 15,000,000 of each coin and they went on sale July 4th. They did prepare new dies to run them off on the high speed presses but it was in '75. There is no difference in these coins other than the poor strikes, low quality,and excessive marking which are all atypical for the numismatic pieces run off first.[/QUOTE]
