<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1287987, member: 26302&quot;]I agree, one of the basis of a mint was the production of planchets from rolled strip. I believe all mints had rollers and punches to create planchets from metal. That is the reason they located Dahlanega, Charlotte, Denver, and Carson City mints where they did. Why do that if they have to ship the metal to Philly and ship planchents back? At that point it would simply be easier to just ship coins from Philly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still curious on how we know the mintmarks were applied in Philly. Does anyone have a source for this information?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
