Best Answer

The "s" is the mint mark, or which mint struck the coin.

S= San Francisco

D= Denver

(no mark) or P=Philadelphia

O=New Orleans

CC=Carson City (Nevada)

C= Charlotte (North Carolina)

There was also another D mint mark which was Dalonoga, Georgia. Both Charlotte and Dalonoga were in use before the Civil War and taken over by the Confederacy, along with the mint in New Orleans. The Charlotte mint was actually the first mint to strike gold coins with the first gold discovered in in the US, also in North Carolina.

When a persons last name does not end in s do you add 's or s' to show possession?

When the name does not end in s, one should use 's. eg) Mr Smith's pen. This is the same as any apostrophe of posession, eg) the cat's whiskers. When the name does end in an s, the rule is exactly the same. eg) Mr. Jones's pen. James's watch. You never add s' to show possession. If the word is a plural formed with an s, such as baskets or buffaloes, the possessive is indicated by adding an apostrophe alone eg) the baskets' handles, the buffaloes' horns.
