Is the PI the San Luis Potosi mint mark?

When I just acquired it, I did some background research on it and came up with the following: The 1849 Pi was made with three assayer initial pairs. One of the pairs (MC) was included in one of the hoards of high grade 8Rs discovered a couple decades ago. That skews the average condition for that particular assayer. The one with the PS assayer is normally a low grade coin with examples above VF being (according to Dunigan) NON-EXISTENT. The AM initials - I have no information about, but Dunigan calls it rare.

Which one do you have?

I am refering to the AM assayer.
