<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 595474, member: 13650&quot;]Check out the book &quot;History of the U.S. mint and it&#039;s Coinage.&quot;&nbsp; I think you&#039;d find it very interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; The branch mints were built based on location and sometimes on politics, and they were highly political places to work once they were there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Back in the day, many cities including NYC and St. Louis wanted to get a mint built but they never got approved.&nbsp; &nbsp; The Philly mint was kind of the mother mint.&nbsp; All the branch mints were treated somewhat as &#039;ugly step children&#039; to some extent.&nbsp; The dies were made in Philly and had to be shipped out to all the branch mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
