1912 was the only year Liberty nickels were struck at branch mints as well as at Philadelphia. If there is a mint mark, it would be a small D or S on the reverse below the button to the left of the word CENTS.
At that time Philadelphia didn't use a "P" mint mark so all Liberty head nickels minted there will not have a mint mark.
If the mint mark is a D the nickel is probably worth no more than a dollar. If the mint mark is an S it could be worth around $3.00 By the way, there is no such thing as a 1938 liberty nickel. The only nickels minted in 1938 were buffaloes and Jeffersons.
There are no mint marks on 1905 Liberty Head nickels. All were minted at Philadelphia, which didn't use a P mint mark at that time. 1912 was the only year that Liberty Head nickels were made at branch mints.

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.
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.
