On a US silver dollar, the mintmark is in a variety of locations, on a Morgan Dollar ( 1878-1921) it is underneath the tail feathers of the eagle between the D and the O in Dollar. On a Peace Dollar (1921-1935) it is located underneath the One in "One Dollar" on the reverse on an Eisenhower Dollar (1971-1978) it is between the 3rd and 4th numbers of the date by Eisenhower's neck.
