Best Answer

The two letters indicate the mints where they were produced.

"D" means it was the Denver Mint.

"S" means it was the San Franciso Mint.

Other mint marks you may find on conins include:

( P ) - Philadelphia

( W ) - West Point

Also - older coins may have letters other than "D" or "S."

These letters represent old closed down mints listed below..

( C ) for Charlotte, North Carolina (on gold coins only)..

( CC ) for Carson City, Nevada...

( D ) Dahlonega, Georga-used only for gold coins minted from 1838-1861.

( 0 ) for New Orleans, Louisiana...

On some gold coins

minted from 1838 to 1861, you may find the letter

( D ) Showing the coin was minted at Dahlonega, Georgia..

the Denver Mint was not yet in operation.
