Almost never. Remember, while Philadelphia has used a P mint mark since 1980 on most coins, cents from Philly are still "plain"; i.e. they don't carry mint marks. Because Philadelphia mints several billion cents a year on average, anything made there in the last 70 years or so is generally not scarce at all.
