Question
i would like to know which letter goes with which mint. i have a coin i think the letter is A but maybe K i can't tell(bad eyesight) or is their even a K for a mint letter?

Answer
Hello Steve,                            

The Mint-Mark will be on the reverse (back) of the coin between the suns rays and below the letter "0" in the word ONE (if there is a Mint Mark Letter at all).

The coins were made at the Philadelphia Mint the Denver Mint and The San Francisco Mint.
Coins made at Philadelphia did not have a Mint-Mark, The Denver mint uses a D and the San Francisco Mint used a S.

If you are looking at the letters below Lady Liberty on the front of the coin they are just the stylized initials of the artist. Anthony De Francisci.
These are 90% silver PEACE type Dollars and sell in circulated condition, from 10.00 dollars each to about $15.00. Also note they were made at different mints and that makes them vary in price.
