NyghtSkyChaser New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/04/2020 4:06 pm True. Reason I wanted to toss it, however, in 1976 West Point picked up the slack and produced pennies and bicies without mint marks. Any chance West Point experimented the idea of producing nickels? Mint marks were placed by hand until 1980. I know West Point didn't mark theirs until many years later. Report this Post to the Staff
