In the United States, there are five primary mint marks used to indicate where a coin was produced: "P" for Philadelphia, "D" for Denver, "S" for San Francisco, "W" for West Point, and "O" for New Orleans. Additionally, coins can be produced without a mint mark, particularly before the 1900s. Each mint mark signifies differences in production and occasionally in design or metal composition.
