Best Answer

The mint is the facility where it was made, so I assume you're referring to the mint MARK, which is the letter that indicates the facility.

The mint mark position on a 1909 Indian head cent is on the back under the wreath. On a Lincoln cent, it's under the date.

Most 1909 cents were made in Philadelphia so they don't have mint marks. Only a relatively small number were in San Francisco, and they carry an S mint mark.
