<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeffrey Dean, post: 3220341, member: 97700&quot;]Here are just a sample of the posts that say (or imply) that a proof always has an &quot;s&quot; on them:</p><p><br /></p><p>First Reply:</p><p>The 1990 S penny is a Proof. Normally not in circulation except for the ones from a robbery or a someone in a family spending what they shouldn&#039;t. A proof coin appears to be like a Mirror. Really, really shinny. There is no S or D or anything on a Phily Minted Penny. The others have a D for Denver and if there was an S, it would look extensively more shinning than others.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>SEVERAL POSTS DOWN:</p><p>It, they could not and will not be &quot;no &quot;S&quot; proof cents from 1990.<b></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>THE VERY NEXT POST:</p><p>(Implies they must be Philadelphia if they have no mint mark)</p><p>Philadelphia made 6,851,765,000 of them that year and none of them had a mint mark. In fact, no cent from Philadelphia has or had a mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>On page 2 someone asked what the value of a proof coin with no s is and the very next reply said it was &quot;just a normal coin.&quot;&nbsp; (Because it didn&#039;t have an s)</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Question:</p><p>Hello everyone, I&#039;m new here, I want to know if you have any value a coin &quot;1990 no s&quot; because I have 2 in good condition, can someone please explain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reply:</p><p>&quot;Just a normal cent, read the old posts in this thread they explain the difference.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>On the same page someone told the person to &quot;stop searching&quot; for proof coins with &quot;no s.&quot;&nbsp; (Implying they don&#039;t exist).</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t read the entire thread but there were people insulting the original poster for even asking how to determine a proof that has no &quot;s.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>It was obvious to me there are a lot of so called &quot;experts&quot; here who don&#039;t seem to know what they are talking about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
