<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 574762, member: 10103"]Proofs are coins made specifically for collectors. The San Francisco mint has been devoted to that effort for many years now but they haven't always been engaged in that endeavor. San Francisco has been minting coins since the middle of the 1800's but only began production of proof coins in 1968. They ceased business strike operations after 1955 with one small exception. They did mint regular production cents from 1968-1974.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
