<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4747217, member: 19165"]In that era, all minor coinage was minted in Philly. The branch mints were exclusively designed to accept silver and gold deposits and mint them. If you look at other contemporary series (Shield and Liberty nickels, Indian cents), you'll notice none of them were minted in any branch mints either. The first were in 1908 when the new San Fran mint opened up. They began minting minor coinage there because the demand had grown too great for just the Philly mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
