There isn't one. All cents were struck at Philadelphia until 1908. In that year and 1909 some Indian head cents were struck at San Francisco; the mint mark appears on the reverse below the wreath.
When the Lincoln design was introduced in 1909 the mint mark was placed below the date. This was only the second design to regularly have its mint mark on the obverse; the first was the short-lived $2.50 gold piece "Classic Head" design issued from 1834 to 1839.
Lincoln cents have been minted at Denver, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and West Point. The first 2 have mint marks D and S. Cents from Philadelphia and West Point continue the old practice of not using mint marks, primarily because production at West Point is on an as-needed basis. The Mint does not want to create instant rarities by minting, say, a few million 2008-W cents while the other mints churn out billions.
