<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 9709, member: 487&quot;]All proof Lincoln&#039;s dated after 1974 have the &quot;S&quot; mintmark. Proof coins are minted differently than business strike coins, and usually are very easy to spot. The fields around the image are heavily polished. They stand out. </p><p>The error that you have been discussing is a strange error. The reverse die used, was created for the San Francisco Mint, but for one reason or another was put into use by the Philly Mint. They did not however treat the die as a proof die. They did not polish it excessively. </p><p>So if your coin does not have a mintmark on the obverse, along with the reverse that has been discussed you can be sure it is a business strike error.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
