Any that did get out were sold only in proof sets, they were not released into circulation.
OK, finally! No yours is not the valuable one. There were a few proof cents minted in San Francisco accidentally without the S mint mark. There...

That's something I have been planning to do myself, nice!
Sorry, but I just see a lot of damage, no errors. Maybe someone else will see it differently.
