It depends on what series of "Old Quarters" you are asking about. Please post new question with a date.
US Quarters minted in 1954 bear both the mint mark of San Francisco, California mint "S" and the mint mark of the Denver, Colorado mint "D". Additionally, the US Mint at Philadelphia, Pensylvania also struck these quarters but no mint mark was used.
The lack of a mint mark indicates that the coin was minted in Philadelphia. The mint mark P wasn't added to quarters until 1980.
The mint mark on a quarter is typically located on the reverse side, just to the right of the eagle or design element, depending on the specific quarter series. For example, on the state quarters, the mint mark can be found near the bottom, often between the engraving and the edge of the coin. In some older quarters, such as the Washington quarters, the mint mark may also appear above the "D" in "Dollar."
No. The P mint mark didn't appear on most coins until 1980. Dates for "P" mint marks" > Nickels: mid-1942 to 1945 > Dollars: 1979-present > Dimes, quarters, and halves: 1980-present The P mint mark isn't used on cents.
Please check your coin again. No US quarters were minted in 1922.Also "M" is the designer's initial and not a mint mark. The mint mark position on Standing Liberty quarters is on the other pedestal:No mint mark = PhiladelphiaD = DenverS = San Francisco

Check that coin again. Mint marks were on all quarters by 1981.
No U.S. quarters dated 1965 have a mint mark. That said, the mint mark on quarters has never been between numbers in the date.
The mint mark on Washington quarters dated 1932-1964 is on the reverse (tails) side below the eagle.
Many U.S. coins have a mint mark to show where it was minted. On modern quarters, the mark is just to the right of Washington's hair ribbon. P stands for Philadelphia, D is Denver, S is San Francisco, and on older quarters there is O for New Orleans. On quarters minted before 1980, there was no mint mark for Philadelphia. For silver Washington quarters dated 1964 and earlier, Barber quarters, and Seated Liberty quarters, the mark is on the back just below the eagle. Then with Standing Liberty quarters, the mark is on the front, just above and to the left of the date.
The mint mark is on the reverse of the coin under the eagle. If there is no mint mark it was minted at the Philadelphia mint. The Philadelphia mint issued quarters in large quantities. These are the most available and generally trade at their silver bullion value… unless in "Uncirculated" condition.
