<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jloring, post: 1256351, member: 15518&quot;]What ziggy meant is that the Denver mint received the dies from Philadelphia, sans mint mark. Back in those days, a mint employee would manually add the &quot;D&quot; mint mark to the obverse die, using a metal punch. The placement of the mark was determined by how many brews the guy had the night before, but they would generally get it somewhere near and below the date. Nowadays the mint mark is part of the engraving process, so the location is fixed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
