Normally you have to know a coin's denomination to locate the mint mark because it can be in different places. Also, Philadelphia did not use a mint mark on most coins until 1980 so it's very possible your coin doesn't have a mint mark.
Once you know the denomination you can check a site such as www.coinfacts.com that shows the mint mark locations for all US 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. 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.
