Sounds good.
The bullion ASE have no mint mark.
Production facilities do vary. The mint is usually forthcoming enough so you know generally where they were minted or where they "could have been" minted.
But the only real way to know is by the "monster box" that the bullion comes in, generally I think there is info on the nylon strapping around the box. Once the box is open and the bullion sold, there isn't a way to go back and verify the origin.
The third party graders will give an implied mint mint mark on the label if they receive an entire unopened monster box.
In certain years there can be multiple mints producing them, and certain implied mint marks are relatively scarce. This especially was true when the pandemic was at its worst and a mint would be closed and another mint would produce them for awhile.
They will have the "emergency production" on the label, which to me is a little overly dramatic that there is somehow a danger to society if silver bullion is halted #128580;.
No Denver production of any ASE product as of yet, but bullion has been produced at the other 3 mints.
Any of the other ASE products will have the mm on the reverse, Proof or Uncirculated aka "burnished".
