coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 09:59 am As others have mentioned the 1990 'No S' are a Proof coin. They were struck at San Francisco on special dies with double plated zinc planchets. They look like this: At the Philadelphia Mint they struck 1990 business strike cents for normal coinage. (6,851,765,000) They do not have the proof surfaces. That is what you have. Note the finish on your coin. It is not mirror like a proof coin. Yours is a BU Cent from Philadelphia.

Ross Son Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 10:20 am Additionally, here is a side by side comparison of a business strike Lincoln (LEFT) and a Lincoln proof (RIGHT). Regardless if the business strike coin is Brand spanking new and Uncirculated, like the brilliant 2016 Lincoln shields that we see these days, the proof coin will still be unmistakable.
