To set things straight, it's called a mint mark. In general, mint marks were on the reverse side of older gold coins but not always. Also, coins struck at Philadelphia did not carry any mint mark in those days, so a coin without a mint mark is perfectly OK.I'd suggest looking at the site www.coinfacts.com. They have every date and mint mark listed, along with a description (and often a picture, too) of the mint mark location.
What is a mint mark under the eagle?
A mint mark tells where the coin was minted, for example, a P mint mark (or in some cases no mint mark) signifies the coin was minted in Philadelphia, D is for Denver, S is for San Fransisco. I'm assuming someone told you that the mint mark was under the eagle for whatever coin you had, so you simply need to look under the eagle to find a mint mark. Keep in mind that some coins were produced in the Philadelphia mint and have no mint mark.
