jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/22/2008 4:07 pm If a 1990-S "No S" proof cent made it into circulation and remained long enough to look circulated, then there would be no easy way to tell. The only hope would be using specific known die markers that could differentiate it from the business strikes. If one did get circulated, it would probably lose a lot of its value.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/22/2008 4:23 pm Simple- proofs look obviously different(square rims, mirrored fields and cameo devices, strong details) than business strikes unless severely worn and I have not seen a coin from 1990 worn enough to not be able to distinguish whether it is a proof or business strike. Mintage estimates are in the 100-200 range out of hundreds of thousands of proof sets so there are very few and the chances of one of them being released into circulation is incredibly small.

littleboy Pillar of the Community United States 764 Posts	Posted 07/22/2008 11:30 pm brilliant proofs that circulate will have mirror fields in protected areas down to the low grades. ive seen VG proofs that still have luster in between letters of mottos. Report this Post to the Staff
