    I'm not sure where the mint mark is on these. Any informed guesses as to the value?

    The mint mark is below the coat-of-arms on the reverse. It's an H.

    It's hard to tell when the mint mark is H or I because the letters look the same right side up and upside down. But, if it were another mint mark like say a G, like this one I used to own, it's much easier to see that the letter is definitely the mint mark.

    Look at the other letters on each side of it.
