How does the S mint mark matter in the value of a Bicentenial quarter?
Because the "S" mintmark means the coin was minted in San Fransisco. Because the coins minted in San Fransisco in 1976 were not intended for circulation, they are more desirable to collectors. Some of the "S" mintmark coins are 40% silver and that boosts their value. If the coin has no mintmark, or any other mintmark other than "S" it has no value beyond face value.
What if a 1929 buffalo nickel does not have a d or s under the five cent mark?
This means that the coin was minted in Philadelphia. If it had a "D" mintmark, it would be minted in Denver and an "S" means San Francisco. It is quite common for early coins minted in Philadelphia to not have a mint mark on them.
What mint mark is on a st gaudens coin?
The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle (1907-1933) was struck at the mints in Philadelphia (no mintmark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S). The $5, $10, $20, and $50 US bullion coins (1986-2007) using Saint-Gaudens' obverse design have been struck in Philadelphia and West Point. For several years both "circulation strikes" and proof coins were minted in Philadelphia but only the proof versions had a mintmark (P). Then for a few years, the proofs were minted in West Point (W) and none of those minted in Philadelphia were mintmarked. A couple of years ago (2004?) production of all bullion coins was moved to West Point, but I am not sure if the non-proofs carry the mintmark or not.
Where is the mint marks on Washington quarters in the 1940s?

What does it mean if a penny has a D under the year on it...what about if it has a P?
The letter "D" under the date of a penny is the mintmark which indicates where the coin was minted. There are 4 operating mints in the USA. One , represented by the mintmark "D" is in Denver, Colorado. Another, represented by the mintmark "S" is in San Francisco, California. Another, represented by the mintmark "W" is in West Point, New York. The 4th, represented by the mintmark "P" is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. You will find these mintmarks on all coins struck in the USA today with the exception of the pennies which are produced at the Philadelphia mint. You will find no pennies with a mintmark "P". You will also find no coin minted in 1965, 1966 and 1967 with a mintmark. This is because during those years, to discourage coin collecting which some blamed for a coin shortage, none of the mint facilities in the US placed mintmarks on the coins they produced. This practice ended in 1967 and in 1968 mintmarks were again placed on US coins.
