<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1287764, member: 26302&quot;]It is my understand sir that the dies were all made in Philadelphia, and sent to the branch mints. At the branch they would affix the mintmark to each working die. This is why you will find mintmarks in various locations on different coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the 22, I believe all of the mintmarks were punched into the dies, its just as they were polished to extend their lifespan, a couple of dies had their mintmarks progressively removed by the polishing. This was probably not unusual, the only reason we know for certain this happened is because Philadelphia did not produce cents that year. This was probably common, but today we just assume a 1923 cent without a mintmark was produced in Philadelphia, while it could have been just like a 22 and made in Denver with a polished away mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sure there are experts on here on the 22, but I hope that helped a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
