<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 447866, member: 12965"]Mint Marks vary on where they are, depending on the coin. Older coins had the mint mark on the reverse and if there wasn't a Mint Mark, then that meant it was minted in Philadelphia and some of the older Kennedys are this way. On newer coins, like the Ike Dollar, the Mint Mark is on the obverse. Today, threre are 4 Mints - (D)enver, (P)hiladelphia, (S)an Fransisco, and (W)est Point. I believe West Point only mints bullion coins but I am not certain about that and the others mint pretty much everything. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>On older coins, you may also see different Mint Marks than the ones mentioned earlier but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> To learn more, visit CoinFacts and browse around:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinfacts.com</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ps: Welcome to CoinTalk! :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
