Where is the mint mark on a Jefferson nickel?
From 1968 to the present the mintmark has been located on the obverse of the coin, just below the date and to the right of the portrait of Jefferson. Possible mint marks are: No mint mark = Philadelphia, 1968-1979 P = Philadelphia, 1980-present D = Denver S = San Francisco (1968-71) From 1938-1942 and 1946-1964, the mintmark was located to the right of the base of the Monticello on the reverse of the coin. The composition of these coins were 75% copper and 25% nickel. Note that coins produced by the Philadelphia mint had no mintmark. From 1965-1967, no nickels had mintmarks, regardless of where they were produced. From mid 1942-1945, the mintmark was large and located directly above the Monticello on the reverse of the coin. This was to signify a change in the composition of the nickel during these years to 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese. Coins produced by the Philadelphia mint did have a mintmark for the first time. All other nickels since 1866 have been made of 75% copper and 25% nickel.

Is a nickel considered to be a coin?
In popular usage, a nickel IS a coin even though its name is technically "5 cent piece". The name dates back to the mid-1800s when nickel was first used in making US coins. At that time the Mint issued 3-cent and 5-cent coins made of silver. When it became practical to use nickel metal in coins, the Mint also struck the same denominations in an alloy of copper and nickel. The two different compositions circulated together for a number of years; to distinguish them from their silver counterparts people called both nickel-based coins "nickels", adding the denomination: 3-cent nickels and 5-cent nickels. Eventually the Mint discontinued production of both three-cent coins and silver five-cent coins, leaving only so-called "5-cent nickels" in circulation. Because there was no longer any need to distinguish denominations, people dropped the "5-cent" modifier in ordinary conversation and the coins simply became "nickels".
What is the value of a 3 cent piece with no date?
All 3 cent pieces issued by the US Mint had dates. If yours is worn so the date is not on it anymore then you will have to be know whether it is a silver 3 cent or a nickel 3 cent. The nickel 3 cent is about the size of a dime and the silver 3 cent is smaller than a dime. Without a date the value of these coins would be about $1-$2 for the silver 3 cent and about 25-50 cents for the nickel 3 cent.
