<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3116710, member: 84179&quot;]One way to learn how to spot a proof, is too look at a lot of proof coins.&nbsp; Easiest thing would be at a coin show or shop.&nbsp; However, if you can google (1968-s proof set for example) and look at the images.&nbsp; Not necessarily the best way, but it will be a start.</p><p><br /></p><p>As [USER=13318]@l.cutler[/USER] said above.&nbsp; You aren&#039;t going to find these in change.&nbsp; It is unusual to find any proof in circulation&nbsp; For it to get into circulation, somebody would have to break open the hard plastic holder and decide to spend the coins at face value.&nbsp; Out of the millions of proof sets sold during those years, there are only a few hundred (or less) known with the no S.&nbsp; So you would have to have the low probability occurrence of somebody breaking open a proof set and the coins, that just happens to be the very, very probability occurrence of being a No-S set.&nbsp; Theoretically, it could happen, but theoretically, it&#039;s possible to flip a coin and have it land on the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW:&nbsp; If you haven&#039;t done so, I very strongly recommend buying a Redbook.&nbsp; best $12-15 you&#039;ll ever spend on the hobby (or buy an older copy for a few bucks at those overstock stores)</p><p><img src="https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/images/products/secondary/1000019-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
