This is the reason why there would be no "D" or "P" or "S" on a US coin. Although there have been 2 exceptions, generally speaking, the Philadelphia Mint did not use a mint mark prior to 1980. The most notable exception was during World War 2 when silver was used in the Jefferson Nickel from late 1942 through 1945 and the mint marks appeared as large letters over Monticello on the reverse [tails] side of the coin. This was the first time the Philadelph Mint used the letter "P" for its mint mark. The second exception was in 1979 when the letter "P" again was used to identify the Philadelphia Mint on the Susan B. Anthony Dollar. Beginning in 1980 all coins minted at Philadelphia displayed the letter "P" with the exception of the Lincoln Cent. It is the only coin struck at Philadelphi that does not have a mint mark.
