The prices in this table are approximately what a dealer will give you for average grade coins of the type typically found in old jars, shoe boxes, Whitman folders, dealer "unsorted lots," etc. (See image above for an example of "average grade.")   If your coins are still uncirculated, or haven't been worn much, the value could be 2 to 3 times as high or more.  The mint mark, if the coin has one, is on the reverse, near the bottom, to the left of the fasces (bundle of sticks.).

If you have a lot of coins to look up values for, and want to know the realistic prices that dealers will pay you, I recommend the Blue Book of U.S. Coin Values, which is the wholesale price guide that dealers use.  It costs about $10 and is well-worth the small investment.  Compare prices for the Blue Book.
