The San Francisco Mint struck approximately 544 million Lincoln cents for circulation in 1969, bearing the "S" mintmark. San Francisco's role had shifted since the coin shortage era; the facility now produced both circulation strikes and proof coins, though its circulation output was far smaller than Philadelphia's or Denver's.
The 1969-S circulation cent is readily available. It shares its combined mintage figure with the famous 1969-S Doubled Die Obverse, one of the great rarities in the Lincoln cent series, but the overwhelming majority of 1969-S cents are perfectly normal coins. Collectors should not confuse the two. The standard 1969-S is inexpensive and easily found.
