Philadelphia did not begin using the P mint mark on quarters until 1980, so the answer is that all 176,212,000 quarters minted there do not carry a mint mark. It's possible you can't find one in circulation depending on where you live. Various examinations of mint mark distributions throughout the U.S. have shown surprisingly little "mixing" even years after a particular date is issued. Banks in the west most get Denver coins and banks in the east are given Philadelphia coins. The only way they move from one area to another is in the peoples' pockets. Since most travellers no longer carry a lot of money but use credit cards instead, coins tend to remain in the regions where they were first distributed.

Can you tell where the quarter was minted?

Many U.S. coins have a mint mark to show where it was minted. On modern quarters, the mark is just to the right of Washington's hair ribbon. P stands for Philadelphia, D is Denver, S is San Francisco, and on older quarters there is O for New Orleans. On quarters minted before 1980, there was no mint mark for Philadelphia. For silver Washington quarters dated 1964 and earlier, Barber quarters, and Seated Liberty quarters, the mark is on the back just below the eagle. Then with Standing Liberty quarters, the mark is on the front, just above and to the left of the date.
