They get them at xmas time -never had a 79S. I do recall a couple of 70S and 69S - that is where the 71 date came from above.&nbsp; I have not looked for confirmation of my claim above - just something I recalled from way back when.&nbsp; Will have to look when I get home from work.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is not the worth of the coin - I have read several posts here where someone pulled a proof out of a roll of coins - I would just like to find one. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
