[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 12579706, member: 19165"]Mint Mark and Mintmark are used interchangeably. There is no standard. Wikipedia uses mint mark, but Wiktionary (literally run by the same group), uses mintmark. The US mint uses mint mark, but Heritage uses mintmark. With numismatics being a scientific study of coins, I would prefer an accepted standard - but I'm also realistic to understand that probably won't happen. The area most agree on, however, is Privy Mark - it is almost universally spelled as two words.[/QUOTE]
