Where can you find the D or S Mintmark on your Jefferson nickel?

Where is the mint mark located on a nickel?
That depends on the type of nickel and the date. On the updated Jefferson nickel 2006-present, the mark is on the front just below the date. On the 2005 nickel, it's below the word "Liberty." For nickels dated 1968-2004, the mark was below the date. 1938-42 and 1946-64, it was on the back, next to Monticello. 1942-45 were the silver "war" nickels, with the mint mark in a larger size above Monticello. Going back to buffalo nickels, the mark was on the back, right at the bottom.
Why did they redesign the nickel?
Well, from 1938-2003, there was not a single change to the Jefferson Nickel in terms of appearance, so in 2004-2005 they released the "Westward Journey" series of quarters to commemorate Lewis and Clark's journey to the west. In 2006, the Monticello returned to the reverse of the quarter. The Mint never made any "Westward Journey" Quarters only Nickels, the first change in the design was in 1966 when the designer's initials were added to the obverse and in 1968 the Mintmark was moved to the obverse as with all US coins. Monticello was returned to the reverse along with a facing portrait of Jefferson in 2006.

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.

What is a 1968 Jefferson nickel without a mint mark worth?
1968 Jefferson nickels were only struck at Denver and San Francisco so they all should have mint marks. 1968 was the first year for obverse-side mint marks so it should be on the front between the date and the tail of Jefferson's wig. Mint marks were smaller at that time and were added to the dies by hand so it may be more difficult to see than on more recent nickels.
