I hope I am saying this right.  If your slab reads (S) it denotes a dollar that emanates from Philadelphia and, for reasons I no longer recall, was minted in San Francisco, w/o the customary mint mark.

There is a difference between S and (S). S means it was mintmarked with the S. (S) means it was struck at San Francisco without any mintmark.

This means it was hit by a cable car full of tourists, rather than struck at the San Francisco Mint building.

Could be, I suppose. Nobody specifically said the Mint, did they?

Wait what? So the mint mark should be P/S .

It's another TPG marketing gimmick.  An imaginary mintmark that isn't there, basically what the prior posts stated where it was struck at SF, but no MM was added.

So someone forgot to stamp the die with an S ?

They will add the new privy mark -- a flying pig wearing lipstick.

Dubbed the 2021 type 1 & type 2 American Silver Eagle dollar no S coins. Are the 2022's the same as the 2021's?

No, US Mint did not forget.

I don't remember the specifics, but it's been discussed here and other coin forums.

My recollection is that the TPG decided to designate an (S) "mintmark" on the label since these coins were struck in SF.  To obtain the (S), the submitter had to submit a "monster box" of 500 in the original box shipped from the Mint.

Something like this.

I've never checked if this (S) "mint" is included in registry sets.  It's the only "collecting" reason I can come up with why anyone would care.

None. (But made in San Fran.)

No, it was intentional. All bullion strikes are unmintmarked, regardless of where they are made. Only numismatic strikes get mint marks.

There are only Type 2 in 2022 and thereafter. It’s a replacement of Type 1, not an addition. You really lack ANY basic information, don’t you? I find it really frustrating to deal with people like that.

People come here to learn things not to be chastised or diminished by YOU. Your snidely remarks and questions are off topic. I bet your kids were traumatized by you growing up.

Folks with so little knowledge of basics should not attempt to come across as knowledgeable, which you do here, every time you post. I have 59 years experience, to flip to 60 in a few weeks. Look, I’m not expecting much at all, merely the most minimalistic basic knowledge, a bar which you insist on tripping over.
