The current US mint marks are:
P for Philadelphia
D for Denver
S for San Francisco (for proof coins only)
W for West Point (for commemoratives and gold only)
Until recently most coins from Philadelphia did not have a mintmark so you may find many older coins lacking mint marks. Dates for the P mint mark are:
> 1942-45 : "war nickels"
> 1979-present : dollars
> 1980-present : nickels, quarters, dimes, halves
Philadelphia cents do not have a mint mark, even after 1980.

The mint is the facility where it was made, so I assume you're referring to the mint MARK, which is the letter that indicates the facility. The mint mark position on a 1909 Indian head cent is on the back under the wreath. On a Lincoln cent, it's under the date. Most 1909 cents were made in Philadelphia so they don't have mint marks. Only a relatively small number were in San Francisco, and they carry an S mint mark.
