<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill G., post: 2421865, member: 78728&quot;]In California the 1974-S pennies were not available at banks in rolls or bags. They were mixed in with Denver and Philly pennies before release to banks and rolling companies. The word on the street at the time was that the mint was trying to avoid hording of the last &#039;S&#039; mint cent. I spent many hours at banks buying rolls of new pennies, sorting out the &#039;S&#039; mint coins, then selling back the Denver and Philly cents ... over and over ... to get rolls of &#039;S&#039; mint cents. Yet I see &quot;Original bank-rolled&quot; 1974-S cents for sale. Was this just a California provision or are dealers assuming their rolls are original?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
