This was a good read.
I only pull them because I'm weird and have had a fascination with S-mint coins since I was a kid. I've looked at most of them for varieties, but...
The most common S-mint cents I pull are 1971 and 1972, followed by 1970 and 1969, then 1973, 1974, and 1968. I have many rolls of each that I...

PCGS is the third party grading company who assigned the grade of MS65 to the coin. They are the most respected TPG, along with NGC. 50C refers to...
