My reason? My dad gave away 1909 cents to new collectors. and I have a few left.
Way back in the late 50s and early 1960s.

I'd like to carry on the tradition.
On parle francais. English spoken.

Sorry, fellow Yanks, but I have long had a soft spot for
the Canucks. Or is that Cannucks?

They were my dad's finds, so I want them to go to a loving home.

One of the reasons you do not find S mint pennies or S mint anything is many people save all S mint coins. Some hoard anything with an S on it. Many S minted coins had low mintages so again, a reason to hoard them. And too as already noted, the farther you are from the West coast, the less you will find in change or in most places. Then too the stopping of S minted coins for circulation also makes people hoard them.
