<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1827269, member: 10103&quot;]Hi Trevor.&nbsp; You are talking about the elusive &#039;S&#039; s-less bullion coin.&nbsp; San Fran strikes bullion coins along with the West Point mint.&nbsp; Both bullion examples lack a mint mark, hence, no way to determine which mint they originated from.&nbsp; However, folks with deep pockets can purchase &#039;monster boxes&#039; which will display the mint of origin upon them.&nbsp; All that needs to be done is to have the deep pockets guy submit the entire monster box to one of the TPG&#039;ers and that&#039;s how they get the San Francisco designation......albeit, without the &#039;S&#039;.&nbsp; Save your money.&nbsp; Don&#039;t buy into the hype.&nbsp; Just a humble opinion here but a coin without a mint mark is a coin without a mint mark, and as such, lacks provenance.&nbsp; Even if the TPG&#039;ers say so.&nbsp; I don&#039;t buy it and neither should anyone else.&nbsp; Mom was from Missouri, so ya gotta show me, and that means placing a mint mark on the coin.&nbsp; Anything else is just poker chips.......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
