<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 74915, member: 112&quot;]Easy - the mint mark was always puched into the die by hand. And it was not done until the dies were distributed to the various mints. So let&#039;s say Denver breaks the last of their cent dies for a given year and they still need to strike more coins. They ask San Francisco if they have any left over dies - they do - and they are shipped to Denver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the SF dies already have the S mint mark punched into them - so when they arrive at Denver - a D mint mark is punched into the die right over top of the S.
