What are the different us mint symbols?

They're actually called mint marks rather than "symbols". There have been 8 different mint marks over the years. Four mints are currently in operation: P = Philadelphia Mint D = Denver Mint (1906-present) S = San Francisco Mint W = West Point Mint. In the past, there were: CC = Carson City Mint C = Charlotte Mint D = Dahlonega Mint (1838-61) O = New Orleans Mint Most coins of the Philadelphia Mint earlier than 1980 are unmarked. Currently the Lincoln cent is the only coin that does not show a "P" when struck at the Philadelphia mint. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_mark
