Q: Are the coins you received mixed P and D mint marks? I order single mint mark.
One isn't given the option to choose mint mark under the “circulating dollars program,” which may be one reason the shipping costs are waived under that program. Mine have all been from Philadelphia -- or maybe my eyes are going bad.
I just deposted $4,000 Adams & Jefferson yesterday. They arrived a day before our credit card bills were due. Had they shipped out a day later, I'd have had a whole extra month to take a more active role in their circulation.
