At the top of my little box was the silver dollars so I pulled those
out
first and started looking around at some of the links that were
offered. I have three - 1901, 1882, and 1879. How do I know if
something is a P, an
O, or an S? What's that all about?

Karen,
making cents in IL



look at the reverse, under the middle of the wreath. No mark is P,
the others are obvious. :-)

"P" (or no mint mark) is Philalelphia mint, "O" is New Orleans mint and "S"
is San Francisco mint. There is also a "CC" for Carson City, Nev mint in
the Morgan series.
