Unlike U.S. mint marks which relate to the mint's location, German mint marks are sequential by order of the mints' dates of establishment. The most common ones are
A = Berlin
B = Vienna (Nazi era only)
B = Hannover (19th century)
D = München (Munich)
E = Muldenhütte
F = Stuttgart
G = Karlsruhe
J = Hamburg
Many other mint marks were used prior to the 20th century, and some have been assigned to more than one city depending on when the mint operated and what government was in power at the time. Please see the Related Link for more information.

Please check again and post a new question. The C mint mark was only used on gold coins minted from 1838 to 1861. Your coin should either have no mint mark, a D, or an S.
The only US coins to carry a C mintmark were gold coins struck at the Charlotte Mint from 1838 to 1861. The mint mark position on a 1950 dime is on the back at the bottom of the torch: No mint mark = Philadelphia D = Denver S = San Francisco There's more information at the Related Question.
The U.S. only ever used a C mint mark on gold coins minted from 1838 to 1861. Please see the Related Question for details about mint marks and values.

No, not yet. The RAM advises that they are compiling such a website, which will be available later in the year after the necessary photographs have been taken. In the meantime, they recommend "The Pocket Guide to Australian Coins and Banknotes". Keep your eye on the Royal Australian Mint website.
Look on the back to see if there is a small mint mark letter. As of 04/2009, value ranges for circulated coins are: No mint mark - $125 to $220 "C" - $300 to $3500 "D" - $265 to $3000 "O" - $150 to $1000
If you mean a "C" mintmark? Yes, the Charlotte, North Carolina Mint was in operation from 1838 to 1861 but it only minted gold coins.
Assuming no C mint mark $126.00-$276.00 in circulated condition and MS-60 coins start at $300.00
