From mid-1942 to 1945, (World War II) composition nickels were created. These coins are 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese. There are no reports of cupronickel 1943 nickels analogous to the famous 1943 bronze cent errors.

If your coin is deep gray in color it's likely to be a very oxidized silver-alloy nickel and not cupronickel. If you're not able to determine that, the coin should be inspected by an expert dealer or appraiser.

What value does a 1943 and 1954 nickel have with mint mark P?

A 1943-P nickel in average condition is worth 75 cents to a dollar because it contains a bit less than two grams of silver. A 1954 nickel couldn't have a P mint mark because that letter didn't appear on nickels from 1946 to 1979 inclusive. However 1954 is a common date; in average condition its retail value is only about a dime. To explain the presence of silver in a 1943 nickel, it's a special "war nickel" minted during WWII. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Minting began in late 1942 and continued until the end of 1945. The large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back was used to indicate the composition change.
