coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/19/2007 08:18 am There are two different S mintmark punches used on 1974S cents. The one you have is a small date, so it's the larger S used until 1979. The large date 1974S cents have the smaller S that had been used since 1971. None of them have any marketable premium value.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/20/2007 12:42 am Yes, the larger, boxy mintmark was introduced in 1974 and was used until 1979. It is the "filled-S" or "type 1" for 1979S proofs. That was when the next style was introduced, the "clear S" for 1979 was used until 1981. The 1981 "Clear S" is a one-year use. In 1982 they went back to an old style of S that had serifs. Report this Post to the Staff
