If by "mark" you mean "mint mark", all it means is that the coin was struck at Philadelphia in the years before that mint started using the current "P" mint mark.
Until 1979, the only Philadelphia coins to ever carry a mint mark were the special wartime nickels minted from mid-1942 to the end of 1945. In 1979, the P mark was added to $1 coins and in 1980 it was added to all other denominations except pennies.
Cents made at Philadelphia still don't have mint marks, because when demand is high the San Francisco or West Point Mints are pressed into service. Those mints are much smaller than Philadelphia. To avoid instant rarities their cents are also made without mint marks which means they can't be distinguished from Philadelphia cents.

If a coin has no mark at all on one or both sides, it is likely to be either a defective coin or a counterfeit. In either case, its value would be significantly diminished or nonexistent. It is advisable to consult with a professional coin collector or dealer to evaluate and authenticate the coin if it appears to have no marking on either side.
