A mint mark will be a letter "C", "D", "CC", "O", "P", "S" or "W", usually smaller than the other letters of a coin. They are located in different places on different coins.

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.
