Quote: amida17 1973-1986 They are indistinguishable from Philadelphia Mint cents.
Quote: n9jig The phrase is correct. While 1.4 million is extremely low compared to regular recent mintages, the fact that the coin was only distributed with mint sets means it is easily obtainable in uncirculated condition.
By inference from both our your statements is it safe to say all mintsets (proof and circulated) produced during the period are only from West Point or from both.
Was or was't a penny coined at West Point? Does anyone know for sure who could say yea or nay to what is Wickipedia? Does it seem reasonable that a penny could be coined at West Point (without a mintmark) and then shipped to Philadelphia for inclusion in their circulated sets? After all we've had ASE's minted at San Francisco without mintmarks never as such in a mint packaging (?).
Not sure what has your ire raised? I pretty clearly stated twice cents were minted at West Point between 1973 and 1986. Any input on whether they were included in mint sets would only be conjecture.

I do not think so. The mint sets coins have been minted separately from circulation strikes for a long time; I think since at least 1968.
