As to your question:  IMO, THERE ARE SECRET MARKS ON COINS **(just as on banknote printed vintage stamps); however, I don't think any of us really think a designer's initial on a coin is anything out of the ordinary or a "secret." PS  Don't bother to ask <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":muted:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...look very closely <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":watching:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and you may find.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />PPS  Some have been published <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.PPPS  Look between the "A" of "America" and the "R" of "dollar" on an Iowa commemorative 50c.  Never noticed the designer's initials on this coin before I started looking at coins to answer your post.  Thanks! ** I believe they were added to a die to help fight counterfeiting.  [/QUOTE]
