I have a coin in my hand, and there's a letter 'D' on it. I'm wondering what this 'D' stands for or represents. Is it a mint mark, a date, or something else entirely? I'd like to know the meaning of this 'D' on my coin.

For coins dated between 1838 and 1861, the presence of a "D" indicated that they were minted in Dahlonega, Georgia.

However, coins minted from 1906 to the present with a "D" mark signify that they were produced in Denver, Colorado.

Prior to 1968, most mintmarks, including the "D," were located on the reverse side of United States coins.
