Best Answer

No mint mark on a US coin means the coin was minted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 1968 was first year the letter "P" was added to all coins, except pennies, struck in Philadelphia. During World War 2 the US nickels minted in the latter part of 1942, all of 1943, 1944 and 1945 had mint marks of all 3 mints on the reverse [tails] side of the coin above the dome of Monticello. This was the only time prior to 1968 that coins struck at Philadelphia carried the mint mark "P"..
