<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 542362, member: 11521&quot;]I&#039;ve never heard of that before. It really wouldn&#039;t make any sense because a die with no mintmarks would have been used at the Philadelphia Mint and dies with a mintmark would have been used at a branch mint. Seems like more trouble than it would be worth to use a die then add a mintmark and ship it out to the branch mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That said, there was a time when, after all needed Proof coins had been minted, the Proof dies were put to use minting Business Strike coins. That makes it harder to distinguish the Proof from the Business strike coin (same die markers, proof-like surfaces, etc.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And another answer to your question is - - -&nbsp; it is a moot point today because mintmarks are now added to the Master Hub instead of being added to the Working Dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
