The P mintmark wasn't used in 1936. The lack of a mintmark back then indicated it was made in Philadelphia. So, yes, this is the designer's intial. F for James Earle Fraser. Also, mintmarks were on the back of the coin then. Edited by Tanman2001

 That's a good question with a straightforward answer.  I think Germany has an F mintmark, but the US never has. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
