Vinney32 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 11:46 pm Was just trying to learn proof strikes in! In the RedBook and a few of these coins have popped out compared too all the other penny's and they keep grabbing my attintion over anything else while sorting. Thanks in advance Edited by Vinney32 02/16/2021 11:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 02/17/2021 01:40 am Proof sets made from 68 onward were minted in San Francisco, and have an "S" mintmark. So anything with out a mint mark or with a "d" are automatically not proofs. Starting in 70 these later proofs were all cameo so without a cameo even the "s" mints would not be a proof. 68 and 9 were a mirrored finish. Go to ebay and search for Lincoln memorial proofs and you can see tons of great examples. Report this Post to the Staff

There were issued in individual bags stapled together from '36 to '55 where they switched from the boxes to flat packs. EDIT: I think that there were some special double set flat pack proofs made in the '40s but I'm not positive about that. I'm trying to find out so I can continue my goal of getting back as far in time for proof sets as I'm able to afford. ref: https://www.coincommunity.com/us_proof_sets/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unite...es_Proof_Set Collecting since 1972.

First of all all Proofs after 1967 have the S mint mark , yours don't . Then they don't look like any of your Lincolns .Here's an example of a Proof Lincoln Memorial cent : Report this Post to the Staff
