Question About P Mint

Okay, uh, first off i'd like to just say that there probably is a P mint RPM out there on some nickels but people dont look for em. And secondly, what would mr. Lincoln do if he heard you call him "Double eyes"? Just rude, sir! (lol)

Seriously though, I have often wondered about the P mint RPM. Anyone ever heard of one? They did punch them by hand at Philly didn't they? Did they pay their punch guys more than the other mints did? What's up with that?

Really? Thanks, I'll check that out.

Yes, I see. I can only find them on War Nickels though. I would think there should be more, even on dimes and such.

I was heavily into Jeffersons for awhile (and still am) but




Kind of strange but other that to note what the M was, I never thought to look closer. Until now ...

Thanks to all for the comments.I can only guess that the Philadelphia Mint had higher quality control standards at least from 1980 to 1989. I suppose the only P RPM we'll ever see will be on a silver nickel. One found on a coin after 1979 would be worth a large fortune.
