was going through my proof sets i have stored away and was reading on about 1990 proof penny without and S. Any help would be appreciated, I've only heard about this penny so, no hopes it is that rare one. haha and yes it is still in the set sealed plastic,.

    Sorry to inform you that is not a proof. What you have in a flat pack is a mint set.

    That's not a proof coin, imo

    Philadelphia mint set is blue, Denver is red. Yours is in a blue holder and that tells me it's a mint set not a proof set.

    Yeah, The proof sets are in hard plastic cases.

    I'm guessing the other coins in the pack are missing the "S" as well...

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    Welcome to the forum @unluckyluck.

    Mint sets vs PF sets is probably what you need to research.

    I was going to post some info but goog has tons.

    Enjoy the hobby!

    If he had it professionally polished would it then be a proof?
    (Personally, I lean toward "no".)

    Uh, No. Proof is a way the coin is manufactured. Completely different from a coin minted for circulation.
