shonit,
S-mint has always seemed rarer to me than the others, and there was a topic a few months ago about saving these. Unfortunately, I don't think any of your S-mints are proofs, as they would be if they were minted today. Anybody got a year on that?

I used to find quite a few 68, 69, and 70 S nickels in rolls as compared to any other dates. The 7o s also, of the three, was the most common for me to find.

These are common circulation strike coins ... even more so if you lived in California rather than Canada.  David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I have been noticing a significant spike in the amount of Memorial "S" cents I have been finding. I am in Michigan and don't understand why.

Wulffy, you don't understand why you're in Michigan? |

But seriously, Nickelsearcher is right. I brought back three boxes of cents from California and I found more S mint cents in them than I would have found in 30 boxes from banks here in upstate NY.

shonit123, Did you check the 1970-S for the small date and for the DDO? Quote:

Found another proof quarter last night. I'm going to agree with John on this one.
