mintmark
Origin stamp, coins
A mintmark is a small letter, symbol, or design stamped on a coin to indicate which mint produced it.
These marks help numismatists and collectors identify where and sometimes when a coin was struck, which can significantly affect its rarity and value.
The small "D" mintmark shows this penny was made in Denver.
Common U.S. mintmarks include "P" for Philadelphia, "D" for Denver, and "S" for San Francisco.
