Here in Michigan I mostly find 80% P and 20% D, very seldom S even in business strikes. However I found a 1973 S Lincoln I swear at one time was proof.
Lucky. I've found hardly any P minted coins ever, except when I was in Washington D.C. Btw where do you get boxes of coin rolls? The bank I'm guessing?
In Chicago I would say it leans more towards D. And finding anything with an S is a good day, not that it's worth anything more, but is still fun. I also keep every S coin I've come across, which is probably less than 100 coins.
OK, OK so I'm living in the present and forgot about the S mint coins in the past. Just don't see them to much any more. For many reasons people take all S mint coins out of circulation and hoard them. I remember not long ago at a flea market where a dealer was pushing for people to buy rolls of S mint coins. Nothing special but he was asking way, way to much because they were S mints. I just went and looked at a pile of change I have. I'm one of these people that puts all change in a big can at the end of the day. I sporatically looked through that and found that about 90% were all D mints. Looks like we've been invaded by Denver. Odd since Phoili is so close. Maybe they don't like people from Chicago.
If I had 50 posts I give you the straight link to the US mint's answer. So since I can't do that yet, here's how I found it. I used yahoo search engine, type "P Mint Mark" then click on th US mint's link. I think it was the first one.
