Best Answer

The Special Mint Sets issued in 1965, 1966 and 1967 contained only the cent, the nickel, the dime, the quarter and the half dollar. There were no dollar coins being minted during those years so there are no Special Mint set dollars. Most of the coins in those sets had finer detail and greater luster than the regular business strikes. Many of them even have a "proof like" appearance. There were no special markings on these coins so if you have one that is not with the set, other than the better appearance of the coin there is no sure way to tell if it is from a Special Mint Set or not.

Where is the mint mark on an 1889 liberty dollar coin?

I'm not certain which coin you are wanting to know about. In 1889 there were no coins to my knowledge called "liberty dollar". However, there was a gold dollar minted that year which was minted in Philadelphia and therefore carries no mint mark. None were minted anywhere else. Also in 1889 there was a silver dollar minted called "Morgan Dollar" . The mint mark on this one is located below the wreath on the reverse side of the coin. These were minted in Carson City, Nevada and carried a "CC" mint mark: New Orleans, Louisiana and carried an "O" mint mark: San Francisco, California and carried an "S" mint mark: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and carried no mint mark at all.

What is the value of a US nickel coin?

It's worth 5 cents, or 1/20th of a dollar. If it is a "collectible" coin, it may be worth more, but we'd have to know what year it was struck, what mint mark it has, and what condition it is in. And we'd need to know if it is in any way double struck, cracked die, or one of the other things that qualify the coin as a mint error, which will increase its value.
