Were there 1972 quarters with a P mint mark?

No. The P mint mark didn't appear on most coins until 1980. Dates for "P" mint marks" > Nickels: mid-1942 to 1945 > Dollars: 1979-present > Dimes, quarters, and halves: 1980-present The P mint mark isn't used on cents.


Does an O mint mark mean that the coin was struck before the P mint?

Not strictly, because that's really 2 different questions in one. The New Orleans Mint used an O mint mark from 1838 to 1861 and 1879 to 1909, and the first coins to carry a P mint mark were "war nickels" minted from 1942 to 1945, so the O mint mark definitely precedes the P mint mark. Because the Philadelphia Mint had been striking coins without using a P mint mark beginning in 1793, coins from that city can easily predate coins from New Orleans.

Not at all. Denver-mint coins always carry a D mint mark. You're thinking of coins made in Philadelphia, which generally did not have a P mint mark until 1980. The exceptions for Philadelphia coins are: > 1942-1945 "war nickels" have a P > 1979 $1 coins have a P > Cents made in Philadelphia don't have a mint mark, regardless of their date.
