How to use this list. Look at the mint-mark and date that is on your coin. Next, look at the list for the mint-mark. Next step is to go to the mint-master and die-cutters list and look under the mint the coin was minted at and the date range of the coin, and you will find the name of the mint-master or the die-cutter. You will find that the first, last and sometimes the middle initial of the mint-master or die-cutters name is used for the mint-mark.
