Mint mark on imperial era coins is located to the left and right of the eagle's tail on the reverse of the coin. At no point was it located above the denomination during this era. You'll need to look for the mint mark to get a better idea of the price. It'll be a little letter located (IIRC) above the large 2 in the denomination. In any case, unless the coin is uncirculated, retail values are generally in the �0.50 to �2.00 range (maybe 65 cents to $2.50 U.S.) so this is coin does not command a large premium.

RossGermany has always had many active Mints so you need to know the mint mark as well as the coin's condition.
The site is in German but the dates and mint marks don't require translation. The 4 values given for each coin are for conditions that correspond roughly to Good, Fine, Very Fine, and Almost Uncirculated.
Prices are in euros, with �1 = roughly US$ 1.40

What you have is a Germany Empire coin.
Look on the back for very small mint marks, two at the bottom near the rim under the bird.
The coin will either have an A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, or J.
Values range from
Mint Mark A = 25¢ - $12.50 ($45 UNC)
Mint Mark B = $1 - $14.00 ($50 UNC)
Mint Mark C = 25¢ - $12.00 ($45 UNC)
Mint Mark D = 25¢ - $12.50 ($45 UNC)
Mint Mark E = $1 - $14.00 ($50 UNC)
Mint Mark F = $1 - $14.00 ($50 UNC)
Mint Mark G = $1 - $14.00 ($50 UNC)
Mint Mark H = $17.50 - $40 ($75 UNC)
Mint Mark J = $1 - $14.00 ($45 UNC)
A lot depends on the Mint Mark and the condition of the coin. Grading is subjective, but the more you can make out, the better. How much detail is in the crown, in the bird's wings, on the shield, the lettering, etc?
Above values are from the Krause 2008 catalog of coins, with prices for coins in "Fine" condition, "Very Fine" condition, "Extremely Fine" condition and Uncirculated. Range above was from Fine to Extra Fine, with Uncirculated in parenthesis.
Another safe bet is to go to your library and check out their 2008 Standard Catalog of World Coins, which will give you a description on how to grade your coin and will have the different values for each mint and grade.

I'm not exactly sure, however, when I am curious about how much a certain coin or bill is worth, I go to Ebay. On Ebay, go to coins and paper money, US currency and type into the search box "1876 $1". When your search comes up, click ending soonest ... from this, you will see how much similar bills are going for :) Keep in mind with currency: The condition will determine value greatly. The serial number will determine value if real low or high.
