<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 714900, member: 18157&quot;]There was a coin shortage in the early 1960&#039;s that was blamed on coin collectors hoarding coins. One step that was taken was that the Mint Director, Eva Adams, suspended mint marks to make it more difficult to distiguish coins according to Mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, and I found this quite interesting, coins (cents through half dollars) dated 1964 were minted as late as 1966 to create the &quot;appearance&quot; that the coins weren&#039;t being hoarded. That&#039;s the reason for the relatively high 1964 mintage figures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
