The US suspended the use of mint marks on all coins dated 1965-67. The mints were operating 24/7 making new clad coins to replace all of the silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars that were being pulled from circulation and melted. Somehow politicians concluded that those coins were being withdrawn by coin collectors rather than metal speculators, and removed mint marks as a way to reduce coins' appeal to collectors. Needless to say hoarding continued and by 1968 mint marks were restored.
Also please be careful to note that coins minted at Philadelphia prior to 1980 (before 1979 for dollars) don't carry mint marks so not finding a P is perfectly normal.

No. In fact, there are no mint marks on coins made in Philadelphia prior to 1979, except for the famous "war nickels" issued from 1942 to 1945. The first US mint marks were used in 1838 when branch mints were opened in New Orleans, Dahlonega, and Charlotte.
