<p>[QUOTE=&quot;blsmothermon, post: 1002485, member: 26158&quot;]Since 1968 all US mintmarks have been on the obverse of the coin (heads side). Philly and Denver produce all circulating coinage, while San Fran and West Point produce certain &quot;collector&quot; coinage. The cent is the only coin that still uses &quot;plain&quot; or no mintmark to indicate the Philadelphia Mint. Where you live, and Mint/Treasury distribution networks have alot to do with what mintmarks are seen in certain areas and when. Given that you have only seen &quot;plain&quot; 2010 cent up to now would lead me to assume that you live in the northeastern US. Most commonly, it is the job of the Philly mint to produce coins for the NE and its large cities. Denver produces coins for the rest of the country. In my area, Arkansas, we see only D mintmarks for most of the current year&#039;s coins. It is usually until sometime after June/July/August that I begin to find P or &quot;plain&quot; current yr coins. Hope this info helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
