Coin ID/Mint Mark Locator 1.0.2

The Coin Identifier and Mint Mark Locator is an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced coin collectors aiming to accurately identify United States coins and their respective mint locations.

The tool features a comprehensive table that catalogs all US coin types from 1793 to the present. Users can streamline their search by selecting the coin's denomination or entering its year of minting. This targeted approach significantly narrows the potential matches, allowing for a more efficient identification process. After identifying potential matches, users can compare their coins with the provided images to ascertain the specific issue. Selecting an issue leads to the presentation of detailed numismatic information alongside larger images for closer examination.

One notable feature includes a graphics overlay that indicates the location of the mint mark, which can be toggled on or off based on user preference. Additionally, users can click on either the obverse or reverse images to access larger views, enhancing the ability to inspect fine details.

For coins that are available in multiple designs, buttons labeled "Show More Obverses" and "Show More Reverses" are conveniently provided. By clicking these buttons, users can see small images of all possible alternates, offering a comprehensive view of variations.

The search function further allows users to look for coin types that include specific keywords such as "eagle" or "half dollar," adding a layer of flexibility to the identification process.

This tool serves as an effective means of facilitating quick identification for beginners while providing experienced collectors with valuable insights into mint marks and variations, making it a beneficial addition to any collector's toolkit.
