The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle (1907-1933) was struck at the mints in Philadelphia (no mintmark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S). The $5, $10, $20, and $50 US bullion coins (1986-2007) using Saint-Gaudens' obverse design have been struck in Philadelphia and West Point. For several years both "circulation strikes" and proof coins were minted in Philadelphia but only the proof versions had a mintmark (P). Then for a few years, the proofs were minted in West Point (W) and none of those minted in Philadelphia were mintmarked. A couple of years ago (2004?) production of all bullion coins was moved to West Point, but I am not sure if the non-proofs carry the mintmark or not.
