<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 503332, member: 11521&quot;]What&#039;s so special about 1968? Sure, the Branch Mints (Denver and San Francisco) resumed putting mintmarks on their coins that year after a 3-year hiatus but Philadelphia had never used a mintmark before so why should they all of a sudden start in 1968?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(The above statement is not completely true. Philadelphia DID place a mintmark on War Nickels.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why did Philadelphia wait until 1980 to use a mintmark? I don&#039;t know. I think the question should be &#039;why did Philadelphia ever start using a mintmark?&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
