<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2144440, member: 73983&quot;]It&#039;s strictly the location at which the coins were struck.&nbsp; You can have a die made anywhere, you can have a planchet made anywhere, it&#039;s only when the two come together that you have a coin produced.&nbsp; The presses that manufacture coins are not exactly mobile.&nbsp; They are extremely heavy and large.&nbsp; I seriously doubt that the mint will start creating a mobile mint to produce various &quot;Mint Mark&quot; coins.&nbsp; The dies typically are made in Philadelphia and then shipped to the various Mint Branches.&nbsp; I know back in the day the dies were shipped to the branch mints without mint marks.&nbsp; Once they arrived the mint marks were stamped into the dies.&nbsp; Not sure if that is still the process today.&nbsp; So, yes a mint mark designates where the coin was produced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
