I'm trying to figure out if my coin has a mint mark on it. I'm not sure where to look or what it would even look like. Can someone help me understand how to identify a mint mark on a coin?

    To examine a coin closely and identify its mint mark effortlessly, employing a magnifying glass is advisable.

    The mint mark's position varies depending on the denomination of the coin you are inspecting.

    For some coins, the mint mark can be found on the bottom half of the obverse side.

    This area, often referred to as the face side, is typically where the primary design and inscriptions are located.

    However, it's important to note that the mint mark isn't always positioned on the bottom half of the obverse.
