If by "mark" you mean "mint mark", all it means is that the coin was struck at Philadelphia in the years before that mint started using the current "P" mint mark.

Until 1979, the only Philadelphia coins to ever carry a mint mark were the special wartime nickels minted from mid-1942 to the end of 1945. In 1979, the P mark was added to $1 coins and in 1980 it was added to all other denominations except pennies.

Cents made at Philadelphia still don't have mint marks, because when demand is high the San Francisco or West Point Mints are pressed into service. Those mints are much smaller than Philadelphia. To avoid instant rarities their cents are also made without mint marks which means they can't be distinguished from Philadelphia cents.

Where do you find the mint mark on an 1879 coin?

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.
