Not sure what you're trying to say. Mints are the facilities where coins are manufactured. If you're referring to the mint mark, that's a small letter or letters identifying what mint struck the coins.

Mint marks can appear pretty much anywhere, depending on the coin's denomination and when it was struck. They've been moved around over the years, added, left off, adjusted, etc. etc. Take a look at http://www.collectorscorner.org/mark.html for a good listing of what, when and where.

Well, like 2 C's next to each other, as shown in the image linked below.

"CC" stands for Carson City, a mint that operated only from 1870 to 1893. It was set up to be near major gold and silver mines. The mint mark is unusual because it's the only 2-letter mark used on any US Coins, and it has a certain romance about it because of its location and being part of the Old West.

What is a mint mark under the eagle?

A mint mark tells where the coin was minted, for example, a P mint mark (or in some cases no mint mark) signifies the coin was minted in Philadelphia, D is for Denver, S is for San Fransisco. I'm assuming someone told you that the mint mark was under the eagle for whatever coin you had, so you simply need to look under the eagle to find a mint mark. Keep in mind that some coins were produced in the Philadelphia mint and have no mint mark.
