The 'S' mintmark was not used from 1956-1968. So how could it be a used in 1961? I-Saw-No-Variety-For-1961-D-Over-S-Nickel-Need-Opinions

not too sure what is going on there, but the San Francisco mint was shut down. during this year.


Quote:
The new Mint was opened in 1937. Beginning in 1955, circulating coinage from San Francisco was suspended for 13 years. In 1968, it took over most proof coinage production from the Philadelphia Mint, but continued striking a supplemental circulating coinage from 1968 through 1974.

It may be our eyes tricking us into thinking there's an "S" is lurking there, when there really can't be. Our eyes are trained to look out for (or pick out) familiar patterns. Could it be a die chip or some other reasonable explanation?
