Nice coins Dearborn, but misses the main brief. Quote:
There seems to be a few coins that were minted in the same year, on same metal, but something small was changed, |

For Switzerland, you could have this one. Both 1968 1 franc coins on copper-nickel, but B for Bern added at 6 o'clock. The other one is minted in London.   |

Those 1957 Spanish peseta coins are all the same. except the date changes in the stars, so you could have posted 2 of those, with different dates.

No F in star, minted in Greece. So you are saying that mint marks on coins count as being different but same year? So I can post up a Quarter with a P mm, a D mm, and an S mm and they would count? |

Dearborn, I see your point. However, we all know that there are 3 common mints: P (or blank), D and S for modern US coins for lots of years and denominations. Similarly, most collectors of German coins know that modern Pfennig/Mark coins had A, D, E, F, G, J mintmarks for lots of years and denominations. So, I would suggest that if coins are normally produced at the same group of different mints for a run of years, then don't list them here. If it's just for odd years, then do. I didn't know about these different mintmarks for Greek coins - I'll have to look out for them. By the way, I think that the posts for the Greek 5, 10, 20 and 50 Euro cents coins should say lepta instead, since that's what it says on the coins. |

I agree with you Pertinax, I was just trying to get a line on this particular topic as it could go many different ways. Just the the old English coin that use repetitive symbols to indicate which mint they come from.

I would rather that you did not post U.S. coins with different mint marks, as this thread would be flooded with them, which is not the intention. The only reason I posted the Greek coins is because it's a one year only thing. I hope you understand. Quote:

Yeah, I understand completely, that was just as example as I described in my post. I had no intention of posting more P,D coin.. I just wanted ato clarify something, which you did beautifully..  |

I have another example: The 1909 Lincoln cents with and without the VDB reverse initials. When Victor David Brenner had his infamous initials put on the new cents in 1909, the public apparently thought the letters were too large, so the mint during production removed those initials.    Sorry if the pics aren't the best... |
