Looking for The Mint Mark But Can’t Find It?-Pennies

I found out that not all mint marks are in the same place on the each coin. That so much depends on the date and type of coin. so here is a short little list that may help.

Indian Head cent  -Mint marks appear only on coins dated 1908 and 1909 below the wreath on the tail side(Reverse)

Lincoln cent(1909-date) -Look for it below the date .
