<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3103251, member: 84179&quot;]You&#039;re not going to find a No S proof in change.&nbsp; First, think of how uncommon it is to find <u><b>any</b></u> Proof only issue in circulation.&nbsp; Yeah, it happens but think of what needs to occur.&nbsp; Somebody has to go through the effort of breaking open the hard plastic holder and then deciding to spend the coins at face value.&nbsp;&nbsp; Does it happen?&nbsp; Yes.&nbsp; Is it a common occurrence? You decide.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1990, the mint made over 3 million proof sets.&nbsp; How many No S proof pennies were made? It may be 200-500 depending on the source.&nbsp; So, let&#039;s say someone was lucky and got one of the 0.01% 1990 proof sets with a No S cent, and they also happened to be in the small minority of non-dealers that decided to break open the set and spend the coin at face value.&nbsp; And, of all the cents out in circulation, you just happened to find it.&nbsp; Can it happen.&nbsp; Yes.&nbsp; What&#039;s the probability of it happening?&nbsp; Too much math for me today.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you really want to find a No S proof, you need to search the proof sets.&nbsp; 1990 is a cheap set and there is a chance that some still haven&#039;t been checked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
