The term is actually mint mark rather than mint "stamp".
There are four US mintmarks that are currently in use and a four additional historical ones. They are an "S" for the San Fransisco Mint, "D" for the Denver Mint, "W" for the West Point mint, "P" (and on pennies and older coins, no mintmark) for the Philadelphia Mint. And historically there was a "CC" for the Carson City Mint, an "O" for the New Orleans Mint and on some older gold coinage (1838-1861) a "D" refers to Dahlonega Mint, keep in mind that the Denver Mint is much newer and the mintmarks were never used simultaneously.
