<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1914394, member: 307&quot;]My guess as to why the proofs start in 1975 is because up until 1974, circulation strike coins were made at San Francisco. All S minted Lincoln Cents from 1975-date are proof coins. Since most album collectors seek coins by date and m/m, the likelihood in my opinion of the proof only from 1975 is because if you want an S mint, it has to be a proof coin beyond that date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless Whitman&#039;s albums have slots for the satin finish coins, which were made in a different composition, as well as slots for the circulation strikes, I believe that the mainstream appeal will be limited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
