<p>[QUOTE="ClairHardesty, post: 1308162, member: 34169"]The seller is claiming that the marker exists on both the bullion and uncirculated S mint coins. If true, this points either to a change in the die production process before mint marks are added, I am not sure if this even happens anywhere but on a computer or in the very first physical step(s), or to a common evolution that happens as SAE die are produced such that it affects virtually all types of die (bullion, uncirculated, proof, and perhaps even reverse proof) at some point in time. It is also possible that the "notch" is similar but different on the two coins. Clearly, since these die are absolutely different, one with a mint mark and one without, they were not produced by the same hub. It is awfully early to be calling this marker a rare occurrence, if it is present on a majority of set coins then it is the opposite of rare as far as anniversary set coins go. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as we get more data points.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
