<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Sims, post: 1973696, member: 59688&quot;]You are correct. I have read articles that have said exactly that, when the Kennedy half came out they were hoarded. By the end of 1964 the Mint had decided to eliminate silver from the dimes and quarters and reduce the amount in the halves.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether the new Kennedy half prompted the moving of the production of proof coins to San Francisco I do not know. I would think they were already planning it.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the period 1965-67 no mint marks were placed on coins as the production at each of the three mints were way off and the Mint did not want a repeat of the 1950-D nickel fiasco where the public knew that the production of five cent pieces in Denver was going to be low and hoarded them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
