    Mint Marks on Regular-Issue U.S. Coins


    Philadelphia: Mint mark P coinage
    years 1793 to date. Since this was the first
    U.S. Mint and has always been the main
    facility, most coins from historic Philadelphia have no
    mint mark. Exceptions are the Wartime nickels of
    1942-45 (shown), Anthony dollars of 1979-81, and
    all other Philadelphia coins after 1979 except the cent.

    Carson City: Mint mark CC coinage


    years 1870-1893. Named after the famous
    frontiersman Kit Carson, this intriguing
    capital city of Nevada was chosen as a mint location
    because of its nearness to such rich silver mines as the
    Comstock Lode of Virginia City, Nevada.
    Note: C mint mark gold coins were struck from
    1838-61 at Charlotte, North Carolina.

    New Orleans: Mint mark O coinage


    years 1838-1861, 1879 to 1909.
    Nicknamed the Crescent City for its
    location stretching around a bend in the Mississippi
    River, fascinating New Orleans was the site of a branch
    mint which handled bullion ore from southern mines.
    After closure, the building lay vacant until converted to
    a museum and art center.

    Denver: Mint mark D coinage


    years 1906 to date. Establishment of a
    Denver Mint was the natural result of major
    gold and silver discoveries in Colorado in the late 1800s.
    Note: Collectors should not confuse the Denver D on
    coins 1906 to date with the D mint mark on gold
    coins of 1838-61 struck at the shortlived Dahlonega,
    Georgia facility.

    San Francisco: Mint mark S


    coinage years 1854 to 1955, 1968 to
    date. The mint facility in this romantic
    and popular West Coast city was opened shortly after the
    1849 gold rush in California. It was more economical
    to refine and coin locally than to ship raw bullion ore
    all the way to Philadelphia. No S coins were minted
    from 1956-67.

    About Mint Mark Punches: Until the 1990s, dies for

    Indian Head Cent..............................1859-1909


    Mint Marks 1908-1909 only

    Buffalo Nickel ......................................1913-38


    No coins minted 1922, 1932-33

    branch mints were hand-punched with the mint mark, and the
    size and location of the mint mark varied depending on where
    and how deeply the punch was impressed. Before 1900, the
    punches themselves varied greatly in size. Nowadays, mint
    marks are added directly to the master dies, and are transferred
    along with the coin designs to the dies that are used to strike coins.
