Note the article in Coin World where the Mint says the handwritten numbers do not necessarily correspond to a particular mint of production.

The whole thing is a money grab by greedy promoters. The coins are identical.

Yes, the Mint now says the info given out for the FOIA request may be 'erroneous'.  I wonder how nervous that Mezack character is NOW.  There are going to be ALOT of unhappy campers should this really toss a monkey wrench into his plans to conquer the entire bullion sector of coin collecting.  What goes around, comes around....it SHOULD be about time it's come around for HIM!

I didn't realize that the words 'Coin Vault' and 'rarity' could be used in the same sentence.  I'd advise the OP to slowly, no, to quickly, remove his name from Coin Vault's 'valued customer' list.  You are a 'valuable customer' to Coin Vault as long as you keep spending your money with them, and given the ridiculously outrageous prices they charge (they gotta pay for that air time), they'll say and do just about anything to keep on selling you graded bullion, regardless of WHERE it was struck.  I'd venture onto ebay, or Great Collections, among other places, to spend your money.  You WILL live to regret purchasing from them.  Talk with some of the dealers who frequent these boards.  They can tell you story after story about how many customers have left their shops VERY unhappy, after finding out what their prized 'rarities' are actually worth (and it makes those dealers look like the bad guys for doing nothing more than explaining that their collection isn't worth anywhere near what Coin Vault claims it is).  Not trying to be harsh, but word to the wise......RUN away from Coin Vault as fast as you can!!
