Are CC coins more valuable?
Often but not always. The Carson City Mint has a somewhat legendary status among US mints because it was established in the "wild west," only operated for a short period of time, and mostly minted higher-denomination pieces. However, there are a few cases where the other mints produced fewer coins, so those from Carson City are actually less expensive.
Does a New Orleans minted coin have more or less worth than other mints?
The answer to this question is the same as that about any other generic question that doesn't refer to a specific date and condition - yes, no, and maybe.New Orleans coins today have a certain "cachet" because that mint has been closed for a century and its products are now only seen in museums and collections. Also, along with Carson City it's probably the best or second-best known former branch mints. But during its years of operation (1838 to 1861 and 1879 to 1909) it produced nearly a half-BILLION coins ranging from dimes to double eagles, so they were not at all uncommon at the time.In addition it was common practice before the early to mid-20th century for coin production to vary widely from one year to the next at each mint, depending on what facilities were available and what denominations were needed. Production at branch mints tended to be lower than at Philadelphia simply due to the facilities' relative sizes, but there were many exceptions to that and it's simply not the case that Philadelphia coins are always most numerous for a given year and denomination.Bottom line - you have to pick a particular denomination and year, and then consult a price guide to know whether a New Orleans coin is more valuable than a similar one from any other branch mint or even from Philadelphia.

Do any US silver coins contain more than 90 percent silver?
Coins minted for circulation were made from "coin silver", the 90% silver / 10% copper alloy mentioned in your question. Some very early issues had slightly less silver, 89% or 89.5% but here were no other deviations from that ratio. Anything with a higher percentage of silver in it was deemed too soft to stand up to normal wear.Of course the current "eagle" bullion coins are 999/1000 fine, but they're not intended for spending.
Were was a Jefferson nickel made?
All Jefferson nickels for circulation were minted at Philadelphia, Denver or San Francisco. The mint at West Point has, in the past, minted coins for other US mints but did not put a West Point mint mark on the coins so there is no way to tell which ones were made there.
Where are the three major coin mints in the US?
There are currently four active US Mints, not 3: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and West Point. Philadelphia and Denver are the 2 primary mints, because they make all circulating coins. San Francisco makes proof and some other collectors' coins, while West Point makes platinum, gold and silver coins.
Is there something special about pennies not having mint markings or having a D?
US cents with no mint mark were struck by the Philadelphia Mint, those with a D in the Denver Mint, and with an S in San Francisco. Currently only proof coins are made in San Francisco and coins for general circulation in the other two mints. In 1979, the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin was the first coin to feature the P mint mark for coins minted in Philadelphia. By 1981, all coins, except for the lowly US cent (commonly called a "penny"), had mint marks, even for Philadelphia-minted coins.
How many 1 pence pieces are made each day in the UK?
As with most mints, coins of a particular denomination are not minted over the course of a year. The One Penny coins might be minted over a period of a week, then they move on to a different type of coin the following week. The Royal Mint also mints coins for other countries and many medals, medallions, non-circulating coins, ingots and a variety of other items. The Royal Mint produced 739,764,000 One Penny coins in 2004 and 378,752,000 One Penny coins in 2005.
How much more is a silver dollar minted in Denver or San Francisco than in Pennsylvania?
The value of a coin is determined by a number of factors. Among them are the year it was minted, its denomination, the condition of the coin and sometimes the mint at which the coin was struck. Other factors include how many were minted, how great the demand is for the coin by collectors and speculators and whether or not there are errors on the coin. No one mint produces coins that are worth more than those produced at other mints based only upon where they were minted.

Do Canada Import Nickels?

How many Edwardvs VII dei gra Britt omn rex fid def ind imp coins are there in the world?
I have no idea and, it will probably never be known, however, the Royal Mint produced more than 614,881,000 general circulation coins during the reign of Edward VII for use within Britain and the colonies and countries of the British Empire who used the British currency at the time. This figure does not include British coins minted at Mints other than the Royal Mint, non-general circulation coins such as gold Five Pound, Two Pound, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins, Proof or especially struck coins, and it does not include coins minted at other mints for the use of other British Empire countries.
Where were US coins minted if no mint marks are visible?
Philadelphia, because it was the first mint they never really needed a mint mark to differentiate themselves from any other mint, so when the other mints were built, they just kept it the same.
What is the value of 1918 Australian King George V gold coin?
Other than British gold coins such as the Half-Sovereign, Sovereign, etc., Australia has never produced "Australian" gold coins for general circulation in Australia. The Sovereign coinage minted for Britain were minted to the British pattern from gold mined in Australia and were minted at either of the Melbourne, Perth or Sydney Mints (Mintmarks M, P or S respectively).
What is an S-mint quarter?
It simply means the quarter was minted in San Francisco. San Francisco minted quarters for circulation from the 19th century up to 1954. These coins have a small S on the back under the eagle. In 1968 proof coin production was transferred from Philadelphia to San Francisco so proof coins made since then carry the S mint mark. New proof quarters have the mint mark to the right of the bow in Washington's wig. San Francisco often made fewer coins than Philadelphia or Denver so coins with that mint mark MAY (but not always) be worth a bit more than those from the other mints. For most common date Washington quarters up to 1954, however, the price of silver is now high enough that those coins are worth more for their silver content than as collectibles unless they're in almost-new or uncirculated condition.
Which U.S mints still make Roosevelt dimes?
