A question for the Lincoln penny Folks

izzy452

In 1968 the S was put on the penny. My question is, are all S mint mark pennies after 1968 proofs ?


Thanks

Nope. I believe 1974 was the last business strike S mint cent.

That is correct after 1974 they are proofs.

Good question!

Ken, I take it this response is exclusively for Lincolns cents? If not, right off the top of my head, there are business strike SBAs from San Fran.
