It wasn't announced that the 2017's would have the mintmark until after they were released into circulation. I remember it was a big surprise. Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2203 Posts	Posted 11/14/2021 10:29 am I read that the "P" mintmark made the Philadelphia mint workers feel good, since the other mints had always had their own mintmarks, at now at last they too were being recognized on their own coins.

I wish they had only done a couple hundred thousand P MMs to really make things interesting. Quote: since the other mints had always had their own mintmarks, at now at last they too were being recognized on their own coins. Philly has had the "P" MM on many coins, just never on the cent prior to 2017. Except for the cent, all Philly-minted U.S. coins since 1980 bear the "P" MM. 2017 was as one-and-done (entertaining) anomoly. On a side note I hope in 2022 they'll replace "In God We Trust" with "Peace Out" and retire the silly thing. (Except for proof collector versions, of course. ) More on this from Coinweek Edited by CelticKnot 11/19/2021 11:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
