C, CC, D, the other D, O, P, S or W? Or M?

boz · August 6, 2004 8:14AM

CC, though not the only one I buy. Like all the branch mints however

relayer · August 6, 2004 8:16AM

I voted for CC.

After all, it's got 2 letters so it's twice as good

techeff · August 6, 2004 8:31AM

Gotta go with CC because my father left me a nice CC Morgan after he passed away a few years ago. AND my son Carson was born last week. Believe it or not, my wife picked out the name!

AuldFartte · August 6, 2004 8:41AM

The missing one that's supposed to be there

flaminio · August 6, 2004 8:41AM

You left off my favorite -- "M"

EDIT: VOTED!

Gotta like C's and D's, got a mystique about 'em.

nwcs · August 6, 2004 9:23AM

I like them all, but I intend to buy a Dahlonega and Charlotte coin before I die.

billboat · August 6, 2004 9:36AM

Actually I like CC and S MMs.

Comet · August 6, 2004 10:00AM

Sharply struck Carson City seated dollars are my favorite mint and coin combo

.

stujoe · August 6, 2004 10:22AM

The CC but only because there is no US mint mark with 3 letters.

Baley · August 6, 2004 4:57PM

I like the big "S"

Hard to argue with RYK's arguement...

magikbilly · August 6, 2004 8:57PM

Hi,
while clearly in the minority, I voted Philadelphia.

Best,
Billy

loanshark · August 6, 2004 10:38PM

Wow. Carson City is leading by 48% and the next closest one is San Fran with only 20%.

Carson City was my vote as well. Love those GSA's.

New Orleans mint coins have always been the coolest for me. I like to imagine what that city must have been like in 1838 when I look at a no stars Seated dime. Did you know that port taxes had to be paid in gold coin, and since New Orleans was a busy port, most New Orleans mint gold coinage found its way directly into commerce with very few issues being saved in high grade?

The first D.

chuckfarthing · August 7, 2004 5:25AM

S I collect mostly from change and a Cent or Nickel from San Francisco is something to celebrate.

They struck some coins with an A mintmark and some MOs...

mheffner2 · August 7, 2004 6:08AM

Got any pics of Manila marks??

ursabear · August 7, 2004 7:03AM

When I began collecting coins from circulation, we (in the South) mostly saw Ps and once in a while Ds. Getting an S was a special treat.

Here's one of my commems, with a close-up of the MM:

I see we got another vote for M. Huzzah!
