<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Saor Alba, post: 742169, member: 21607&quot;]Similarly the 1974-S mints were saved by a lot of people, the mint director at the time, Donna Pope even blamed collectors for creating penny shortages because they were saving the San Fran minted coins from circulation. I always have saved them, just a habit - and they still turn up regularly in box searches.&nbsp; As a result of people &quot;hoarding&quot; the S minted coins, the San Fran mint continued to mint coins, but without the mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following year saw the S minted cent as a proof only, which resulted in demand for it, I remember years ago they were upwards of $15-18 each and now they are about where the 1976s and other proof coins are price wise because there is no demand for them anymore.&nbsp; They are worth less now than they were 30 years ago.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
