The mint mark on any coin is a letter or symbol indicating the location of the mint where the coin was struck. Not all coins have mint marks, though.

1909 Lincoln cents were struck at the mints in Philadelphia and San Francisco. Philadelphia cents didn't (and still don't) have mint marks, while San Francisco cents have a small "S" under the date.

How do you find the mint on a 1909 US cent?

The mint is the facility where it was made, so I assume you're referring to the mint MARK, which is the letter that indicates the facility. The mint mark position on a 1909 Indian head cent is on the back under the wreath. On a Lincoln cent, it's under the date. Most 1909 cents were made in Philadelphia so they don't have mint marks. Only a relatively small number were in San Francisco, and they carry an S mint mark.

Is 1909 d Lincoln cent rare?

The Denver mint did not mint Lincoln cents in 1909, so a 1909 D Lincoln cent doesn't exist. The only two mints to mint Lincoln cents in that year were Philadelphia (no mintmark) and San Fransisco. Lincoln cents started being minted in Denver in 1911. But any 1909 cent is rare, but it prices differ greatly depending on the mintmark, so I can't really say any value without knowing the true mintmark of the coin.
