Would it be possible to collect a single Mint within the confines of the DANSCO 7070?

If you wanted to put together a complete DANSCO Type Set but wanted coins from a single Mint exclusively, could that be done?

Philadelphia would be the only one.

(e.g. there are no branch mint large cents)

Are you sure?
Did Philly mint every single coin?

Except maybe some specific commemorative issues, I can't think of any types that weren't struck at Philly?

So . . . that 1793 CC Wreath Cent I bought from some guy in China might not be real?

Heck, isn't the Liberty Head half eagle the only coin that was struck at every mint (excepting West Point)?

If it isn't a Cameo Proof, then it's a fake. It's a well known fact that Carson City only made proof large cents, the business strikes were made in Dahlonega.

I think so.

It would be a cool collection: Liberty half eagles by mintmark.

I'm working on a Mint Mark set of them in AU actually. I'm going to get a Custom holder for them once I assemble them all, figure it'll make for a really neat set.

There is one. See this thread:

I'm having a hard time filling mine, so I say: " No, it isn't possible with any single MINT. Variety is paramount to the 7070

for the way in which I'm filling it. However, it's a great question.

Would it be possible to collect a single Mint within the confines of the DANSCO 7070?
