smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 1:42 pm Yeah, not a proof. But you do find them in the wild.

djstheman New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 3:11 pm Thank you! the consensus is that my 1968S Penny is not a proof coin? I don't know if that's good or bad. Report this Post to the Staff
