<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1223074, member: 30400&quot;]If I can be allowed to speak for BadThad, what he is saying is the Denver Mint employee was overzealous about removing die damage. The die was polished to remove whatever offended, and in the process he polished off the D mintmark. Maybe it was TGIF and beer was flowing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, this was near the beginning of a sad period (throughout the &#039;20&#039;s) where the branch Mints had to make do on their allotment of dies. The dies were overworked and the struck coins were marginal.</p><p><br /></p><p>The funny thing is, the general public did not realize that Philly wasn&#039;t minting cents. And a long time passed before anyone realized that a &quot;1922 plain&quot; was a Denver SNAFU.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
