The Philadelphia mint didn't use a mintmark from it's start in 1793 until 2017 when a P was used for one year. Ater that it was back to no mintmark. The valuable no mintmark is a proof coin that was minted in San Francisco accidentally made without the S. Yours is a normal Philadelphia business strike coin. The no S proof coin was only in proof sets and wouldn't be found in circulation, rolls etc.
Agree, just a regular business strike.
Same answer as the other forum you posted this on.
Yes, it is.
The Philadelphia Mint also used a P mintmark on the silver war nickels from 1942 to 1945.

He was referring to cents only. Philly uses P mintmark on all other coins since the 1980s.

@travsobeast this answer is correct. Do you understand it fully or do you have follow-up questions?
This is a very good explanation. It should be noted that this is specifically referencing cents. The Philly mint has used a mint mark on nickels, dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars since 1979(?).
