<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1088296, member: 17919&quot;]If you have an album with the plastic windows, it will include all of the regular issues, including proof-only issues. Anything S-mint from 1975 onward will be proof-only. </p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of S-Mint Memorials, I remember getting all excited back in &#039;68 when I heard that the San Francisco Mint was going to resume making cents and nickels for circulation. I looked and looked for them, but since I was living in the middle of the country, all I found were P- and D-mints. I ended up responding to an ad in a 1968 Coins magazine which stated &quot;S-Mint pennies are bountiful here in California. Send&nbsp; me your penny and an SASE, and I will send you an S penny&quot;. So I sent the lady a penny, and spent 12 cents for postage (6 cents each way), and got my &#039;68-S penny. I was so excited about it, I took the penny to school, and lost it on the playground! I never found a &#039;68-S in change after that! But I have since found several in bags of coins I&#039;ve bought from charities here in Japan! Quite a few &#039;71-S&#039;s too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
