Mintmark Styles:
San Francisco
San Francisco Mintmark Styles
from
1909 to 2008
A lot more research has been done on the San Francisco mintmark styles than for the other mints. So I am including here as much of that research as I can without getting into the details of each series. The MMS numbers listed in the chart below are from the Lincoln Cent series. The MMS numbers are unique to a given series because not every series has all the styles or covers all the dates. So, when you leave the Lincoln Cent series, the MMS numbers will no longer match.
