Well now, let's embark on this numismatic treasure hunt! To find the mint mark on your 1941 Jefferson nickel, you'll need to flip it over to the reverse side, the one showing off Thomas Jefferson's magnificent home, Monticello.
Once you're admiring the , cast your gaze to the right side of the building. In that little space between Monticello and the rim of the coin, you might find a tiny letter. If you see a "D," your nickel hails from the Denver mint. If you spot an "S," it journeyed all the way from San Francisco.
If you're staring at that spot and find absolutely nothing, don't panic! It simply means your coin was minted in Philadelphia, which, in 1941, was too modest to stamp its initial on the coins. This is the pre-war location, before the mint mark was moved to its very prominent spot above the dome for the silver "war nickels" starting in 1942.
I must note that the provided search snippets were about as useful as a chocolate teapot, offering only a website menu. This information comes to you courtesy of good old-fashioned coin knowledge. Happy hunting
