What if a 1929 buffalo nickel does not have d or s under the five cent mark?

If a 1929 buffalo nickel does not have a D or S under the five-cent mark, it means that the coin was minted at the Philadelphia Mint. The D mint mark is used for coins minted at the Denver Mint, and the S mint mark is used for coins minted at the San Francisco Mint. Since there is no mint mark on the coin, it can be assumed that it was minted in Philadelphia.
