<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 541436, member: 2972&quot;]While I&#039;m anything but an expert on the topic of minting much less gold of this time period, it is my understanding that the mint marks were added to the die by hand, and that could explain the differing locations between coins.&nbsp; Given the number of coins struck this year in SF (2M+) it seems reasonable to assume more than one reverse die was used, and thus there would be some variation in the mintmark&#039;s location.&nbsp; Respectfully...Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. the above says nothing about the other (IMO valid) concerns about this coin&#039;s authenticity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
