It depends on the coins denomination & date. Post new question.
MoreA mint mark on ANY coin, not just a silver coin, is a letter or symbol indicating where the coin was struck. Practices differ from country to country; for example:In the US, a small letter or letter is used as a mnemonic. E.g. D for Denver, P for Philadelphia, CC for Carson City (late 19th century only) and so on. However, up till 1980 most Philadelphia coins didn't have mint marks so the lack of a mint mark can also tell you where it was made.
Germany also uses letters but instead of being mnemonic, they're used in the order that the mint was established. For example, the first German mint was in Berlin so it uses "A".
Canada has used dots, maple leaves, and other symbols to indicate where its coins were made. The presence/absence of the symbol, or sometimes its position, indicates where a specific coin was made.
Mint marks often affect the value of a coin, because one mint may have struck large numbers of coins one year while another mint may have struck only a few. Again, there are no hard and fast rules. You have to look up prices in a price guide to tell whether a mint mark makes a difference or not.
