The Date and Mint Mark were moved to the edge of the Sacagawea Dollar with the release of the Native American coin Series in 2009 which retained the Sacagawea Bust on the Obverse. I do not have an image of a 2009 coin but offer this image of the 2010 version from the US Mint. Pictures, even rudimentary pictures would answer a lot of questions.

It should be noted that this difference is just between the 80 or 90% of "typical" coins for each mint. At the bottom of the scale the difference is even greater and at the very top there is little difference at all. Indeed, the best .1% of the Philly issue is often superior to the top Denver coins. cladking, May 19, 2008.
Potosi minted far more coins than any of the other mints. It might even be argued that they minted more than most others combined. The Potosi silver find was the largest ever found in history. It was literally an entire mountain of silver. Given that, rather obviously the Potosi coins circulated far more widely than those of any other mint.
In antiquity, the distaters of Alexander the Great were the largest (at 17 grams) in gold up until the gold octodrachms were minted (27 grams). AncientJoe , Jun 13, 2014 #8 + Quote Reply
No demand, no coins. Curiously the cent denomination is the longest and most continuous in production by the US mint, even during the depression there was low demand, but enough to warrant minting them. The only year the cent was not minted was 1815, due to a lack of supply of blanks that were purchased from Britain.
GeorgeM Well-Known Member. "In 2017, the public found out that the U.S. Mint was secretly minting a small number of Silver Eagles at the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints due to a Freedom of Information Act. Only 79,640 of the near 50,000,000 2015 Silver Eagles were minted at Philadelphia. That's about 1/10th of a percent!
vrt Junior Member. After scratching the "year when the coin was minted" meaning I'm down to 2 options: 1. "the year when the coin is supposed to be shipped out of mint" - it can be true only if mints make decision which year to use in every day production to ship these coins exactly up to the end of the specific year.
Donny New Member. Sooooooo.... I’m going to assume the 2018 s reverse shield from the 2018 s Silver Proof set is the lowest minted cent/penny. 200,000 sets were created in total. This is beating out the 2017 s SP shield from the 2017 s 225th anniversary set. They were claiming the 2017 s was the lowest mintage at the time...
