Looking at the reverse of the coin, to the left of the word cents between the rim and dot. It's very small and can only be a "D" or "S". If no mintmark is seen, the coin was minted in Philadelphia.
1912 is the only year that Liberty ("V") nickels were made at a branch mint. Please see the Related Question for more information.

Where to locate the mint mark on a v nickel 1911?

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.

Nickel with mint mark?

Not enough information. Denver and San Francisco nickels have had mint marks since 1912 and Philadelphia nickels have had them 1942-45 and 1980-present. Please post a new question with the coin's date, the mint mark letter, and how worn the coin is. Those are the most important factors in its value. Thanks!
