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.
F is not the mint mark that is the inital of the name of the designer of the coin the mint mark is located on the back below 5 cents
There is in fact no mint mark on the 1911 V-Nickel. The V nickel was struck at all 3 operating mints in the year 1912. If there in no mint mark it is the Philadelphia mint. The mint mark can be located between the word ''CENTS" and the dot on the obverse of the coin. While many people erroneously assume "V" stands for Victory, Victoria, or some other name, it's simply the Roman numeral for the coin's denomination .... 5 cents.
The mint mark on a 1939 Jefferson Nickel is located on the obverse (tails) side of the coin, just to the right of Monticello (the building) between the rim and the building. If there is no mark there then the coin was produced at the U.S. Mint facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
If there is one, it would be on the reverse below the button to the left of the word CENTS. Philadelphia nickels will not have any mint mark, of course.
"F" is designer's initial (James Fraser) rather than a mint mark. The mint mark, if there is one, would be located on the back under the words FIVE CENTS. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1936 US nickel?" for more information

If you mean a Buffalo Nickel with no mint mark, it was struck in Philadelphia. The P mint mark was used on nickels for the first time in 1980

Please post a new question with the coin's date. If you know where the mint mark is located include the coin's mint mark as well.

If your coin has a "S" mint mark on it means that it was made at the San Francisco mint in California.
A coin is not marked with its condition. Condition is an estimate of how worn a coin is. There are criteria for determining what constitutes various levels of wear, so that everyone is pretty much on the same page but it's still an subjective evaluation. Mint marks of course are small letters that tell you where it was struck. The mint mark on a buffalo nickel is located under the words FIVE CENTS: no mark - Philadelphia S - San Francisco D - Denver
The mint mark position on all Indian Head (a/k/a buffalo) nickels is located below the words "Five Cents" on the coin's reverse side. At that time Philadelphia did not use a mint mark so the possibilities are:Blank = Philadelphia"D" = Denver"S" = San FranciscoPlease see the question "What is the value of a 1930 US nickel?" for more details about values.
