I would say "mint mark" is probably the most common usage and that is how I voted. But english (deliberately lower case), especially idiomatic...
There is also historical, or one might say, cultural, value. Those have overlapping definitions where they can mean the same thing or different...
Picked this up in Lakeland last week to replace the scudzy raw example in the US Type Set. Nice die break on reverse. Seller claimed doubling of...

I'll be there all three days. Probably going to attend the LSCC dinner Thursday night. Will also be spending time attending the Central Florida...
Clearly the wrong dealer if he didn't know if he had a $10k to $20k coin in his inventory. I saw an extremely nice AU 39 ND half a couple of FUN...

Charlotte (mintmark "C") and Dahlonega (mintmark "D") are generally considerably more expensive than their contemporary fellows from Philadelphia....
That's what I always read. To avoid the cost and risk of sending unrefined gold/silver cross country. I doubt that local distribution of coinage...
