Edit: I just checked the mintages, with almost 110,000,000 1979S SBAs minted they had to have been business strikes
I am going to have to tell my dad to look at them a bit closer.
Thanks for the clarification
Your dad must be unlucky, biokemist. I picked up a grand total of two
SBA dollars in change when I went to the States with my family in 1983; one of them was a 1979-S.
