Different rulers may have different marks between the inches. There could be half inches, quarter inches, eighths, tenths, sixteenths, or even thirty-seconds of an inch.

Is the value of a 1921 Morgan silver dollar more valuable than just the melting price?
Usually a silver dollar will carry a premium of sorts over bullion price. An exception may be a very common date in very poor condition. 1921 is a fairly common date in all mint marks for the Morgan dollar but unless it is worn badly or has a hole in it or has some other cosmetic defacement it should be worth more than melt even though perhaps slightly in many cases.

What are the different us mint symbols?
They're actually called mint marks rather than "symbols". There have been 8 different mint marks over the years. Four mints are currently in operation: P = Philadelphia Mint D = Denver Mint (1906-present) S = San Francisco Mint W = West Point Mint. In the past, there were: CC = Carson City Mint C = Charlotte Mint D = Dahlonega Mint (1838-61) O = New Orleans Mint Most coins of the Philadelphia Mint earlier than 1980 are unmarked. Currently the Lincoln cent is the only coin that does not show a "P" when struck at the Philadelphia mint. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_mark
A 1943 Jefferson nickel has a large S on the back. What does this mean?
The "S" is the mint mark for the US Mint at San Francisco, California. All US Mint facilities place their own letter, which identifies them, on nearly all of the coins they mint. The larger than normal mint marks on the "war nickels" were placed there to indicate the coins were of a different alloy than previous nickels, containing 35% silver instead of nickel.

Is there a 1921 micro-S Morgan silver dollar?
The term is actually a technicality. According to the Red Book, the mint marks for all 1921 D and S silver dollars were made with a punch that was much smaller than that used on earlier Morgans. Thus all 1921 Morgans are classed as having "micro-S" or "micro-D" mint marks, but it means the D and S are smaller than other dates rather than meaning there are two different sized for 1921 coins. Please see the Related Question for more information and values.

That would be mint mark rather than "marks" because a coin can only be minted in one Mint. The mint mark position on all Mercury dimes is the same, next to the E in the word ONE on the back. Blank = Philadelphia D = Denver S = San Francisco There's more information at the Related Question.
What is a 1968 Jefferson nickel without a mint mark worth?
1968 Jefferson nickels were only struck at Denver and San Francisco so they all should have mint marks. 1968 was the first year for obverse-side mint marks so it should be on the front between the date and the tail of Jefferson's wig. Mint marks were smaller at that time and were added to the dies by hand so it may be more difficult to see than on more recent nickels.

Why doesn't my 2008 penny have a mint mark?
Because it was minted in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia mint pennies don't carry any mint mark.The reason for the lack of a mint mark is that demand is sometimes so high that the mints at West Point and/or San Francisco make extra pennies. Mintages are much smaller than normal Philadelphia and Denver production so if they carried mint marks they'd be "instant rarities". To prevent that from happening the Mint decided that only Denver cents would carry mint marks even though all other denominations started using the P mark in 1980.
What does a mint mark look like?
A mint mark is a small letter, letters, or symbol indicating the location of the mint where a coin was made. Mint marks are not standardized so it can be a major challenge to determine where they are unless you become familiar with all of the different possibilities. For example, modern US coins all have their mint marks near the date on the front of the coin and each letter or letters is a mnemonic for the mint that struck the coin; e.g. P = Philadelphia, D = Denver, S = San Francisco, W = West Point. But before 1980, most Philadelphia coins didn't use a mint mark (pennies still don't) and before 1965 the mint mark position was usually somewhere on the back of a coin. Germany has prominent letter mint marks on its euro coins, but the letters indicate the order in which the mint was established rather than being a mnemonic. For instance, A = Berlin, C = Frankfurt, D = München, and so on. By contrast, Canada and Australia have sometimes used dots or symbols for a particular mint.
