I think there is something special about finding S mint marks on any coin. In the Eastern US they have never been plentiful. I don't roll search much but I look at every coin I get and have been saving cents, especially the copper ones, since 1974. Only the 1974-S have I been able to get a full roll, and the great majority of these were obtained years ago. I know they are aren't worth a premium (except for the copper) but I save them anyway.
We hoard copper but haven't sorted for S coins. It's just to have something to do so now I have another item to keep an eye out for. Just like Strohbie, we haven't gotten around to identifying the 70's so they go into a separate container.
