<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2148734, member: 73983"]Up until 1908 all "minor" coinage was minted exclusively at the Philly Mint. There was a law that prevented the branch mints from striking them until 1905. It took nearly 3 years for the San Francisco Mint to start production of the Cent. So you will not find any Mint Marks on Indian Heads except for the '08 and '09. For clarification "Minor" coinage is any coins not containing precious metals. So Half Cent's, Cent's, Two Cent's and Three Cent's Cupro Nickel and Nickels fell into this category.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
