Does an O mint mark mean that the coin was struck before the P mint?
Not strictly, because that's really 2 different questions in one. The New Orleans Mint used an O mint mark from 1838 to 1861 and 1879 to 1909, and the first coins to carry a P mint mark were "war nickels" minted from 1942 to 1945, so the O mint mark definitely precedes the P mint mark. Because the Philadelphia Mint had been striking coins without using a P mint mark beginning in 1793, coins from that city can easily predate coins from New Orleans.

Where is the mint mark on a 1942 US nickel?
Two different types of nickels were minted in 1942. During the early part of that year the coins were made out of the familiar cupronickel alloy that's used today. These coins were made at Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver, which used a small "D" to the right of Monticello. In mid-year the Mint changed the coin's composition in order to save nickel metal for the war effort. The new coins looked similar, but were made of an alloy of copper, silver, and manganese. To distinguish them from their cupronickel predecessors, the Mint used large mint marks located above the dome of Monticello. These coins were struck at San Francisco and Philadelphia. For the first time, Philadelphia coins carried a P mint mark.
