Because it was minted in Philadelphia, and Philadelphia mint pennies don't carry any mint mark.
The reason for the lack of a mint mark is that demand is sometimes so high that the mints at West Point and/or San Francisco make extra pennies. Mintages are much smaller than normal Philadelphia and Denver production so if they carried mint marks they'd be "instant rarities". To prevent that from happening the Mint decided that only Denver cents would carry mint marks even though all other denominations started using the P mark in 1980.
