i am just reporting it - as a fun find. I have NOT included a picture - as it is in only about AU condition at this point. (and everyone has seen a 1974 cent.

...it is only the second proof coin that I have received in circulation. (the other on was a 1974S nickel).

...also - it is probably the most interesting coin that I have found - in several weeks. (i am on a bit of a - bad streak)...

Are you sure it's a Proof coin?
1974 was the last year the San Francisco mint produced business strike coins bearing the S mint mark for circulation.

Are you sure it's a proof? The mint did make business strike Lincoln cents with the S MM for circulation

Not a proof, but not every day you find any S mint cent in circulation.
