Let's see if we can do a complete run IN ORDER of coins by either their designer (surname, e.g. last name) or by mint mark. Given that some of the letters will be pretty exotic, mint marks (or inferred mint places) from ancients and darkside are considered OK.
I'll start with Ahr (Jack L.) who designed the reverse of the Bicentennial quarter (which is one of my favorite modern designs);
Next up is B. Gosh, can anyone think of at least one designer with the last initial being a B?

I've waited 5 hours and no one has a Barber here? Jeez Loueez! You don't even need a picture of your own coin, it can just be something you "grab" from the web...
OK the next designer OR mint mark needs to begin with a C. Come on folks this ain't rocket science...

Ok, you said Darkside, you can't get much darker than this:
The Muldenhutten mint, which has not been in use since 1953:

So getting back to the letter I, the US Mint designer and sculptor-engraver Michael C. Iacocca worked with Edgar Zell Steever, IV on the Robert Kennedy medal. So this should suffice for the letter "I"

Check out the mint mark on Stubby's penny.

aha, my eyes didn't pick that up!

France 1718 Ecu - "N" mintmark (Montpellier) - (not my coin, but I wish it was!)
Anyway, moving on... the letter O. Since this thread is in the US forum, we should put in pics of US coins when possible. Here's my one and only O-mint Morgan (it's an 1887):
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Apparently I have been awarded the DPOTD twice.
France 1814 Louis XVIII Perpignan Mint (Q)
