DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

If it doesn't have a mintmark it was made in Philadelphia. If it has the D mintmark it was made in Denver. If there is an S below the date it was made in San Francisco.
