<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ClairHardesty, post: 1304786, member: 34169&quot;]Since modern die come from a central location, it may be very difficult to attribute a marker to any particular branch mint. What we think might be a variety unique to SF may be the result of an evolutionary shift in the die making process that is acquired by any and all die manufactured during a particular time period, and since most of the SAE die end up in WP, they may have runs of coins with the same markers. The mint does keep track of die usage in a database (DIS) that is accessible by the public through the FOIA process. If we become convinced that a variety exists, that database may hold valuable information.
