The mintmarks are placed on different places on different denominations of coins minted prior to 1968. In order to know where to look you need to know which coin you have and where the mintmark is located on that particular coin. Since 1968 the mintmarks "D" and "S" have been on the obverse [heads] side of the coin near the date. Since 1980 the Philadelphia mint has also placed their mark, a "P", on all the coins minted there with the exception of the Lincoln Cent which bears no mintmark for Philadelphia.
