<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1279505, member: 112"]Well yes, but there were exceptions. For example, a shipment of dies is sent to San Francisco for use. All of the dies are already marked with an S. But then the SF mint stops minting those coins and they have dies left over. But now Denver, for whatever reason, needs to mint more of those same coins - but they are out of dies. So Denver calls SF and gets them to ship the excess SF dies (already marked with an S) to Denver. The Denver mint then uses a punch and places a D mint mark over that S mint mark. And thus you have a D over S coin. And it didn't happen in Philly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
