If it has one it would be located on the reverse side of the coin just above the letter "D" in the word "DOLLAR". The mint mark "S" is for San Francisco, California. The mint mark "CC" is for Carson City, Nevada. If there is no mint mark the coin was struck at the mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Trade dollars were first made in 1873. Check the date again or make sure you have a trade dollar.
The mint mark on a US Trade Dollar is located on the reverse [tails] side of the coin just above the letter "D" in "DOLLAR". No mint mark = Philadelphia S = San Francisco CC = Carson City
On the reverse(tails) it is above the "D" in dollar.
It can't be a D mint mark. The Denver mint opened in 1906, and 1873 Liberty Seated dollars were only struck at Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Carson City (CC). Please check your coin again and post a new question.
Remember that CC is just one possible mint mark on a silver dollar. It could have an S (San Francisco), O (New Orleans), D (Denver, 1921 and later), or no mint mark if it was struck in Philadelphia. > On a Seated Liberty dollar (up to 1873) the mint mark is below the eagle on the coin's reverse. > On a Morgan dollar (1878-1921) the mint mark is below the wreath and above the letter O in "ONE"

You need to look at the coin again. The first US Trade Dollar was issued in 1873. None of them ever had a P mint mark. You very likely have a copy of an 1873 "pattern coin" produced with an 1872 date and any of three "Trade Dollar" reverses. You may be seeing the P of the word COPY that is required to be stamped into the reverse side of the coin. Most of these coins contain no silver or other valuable metals, and are cheaply and readily purchased as replica coins.

Check that coin again. The Carson City Mint didn't begin producing coins until 1870, and the trade dollar wasn't introduced until 1873.

If it is a Trade Dollar dated 1870 it's a fake. The first were struck in 1873.

The first Trade Dollars were minted in 1873. If your coin says Trade Dollar on the back and is dated 1872 it is a counterfeit. If it does not say Trade Dollar, then it could be a genuine Liberty Seated dollar. You should have it inspected by a dealer or certification agency because its value could range from $300 to $1000 depending on condition.
