The 1972-S Proof was produced at San Francisco in a quantity of approximately 3.26 million pieces, included in that year's proof sets. The proof cent features the expected deep mirror fields and sharp detail that distinguish it from circulation strikes.
Collectors who purchased the 1972 proof set received a well-struck coin that captured Gasparro's Memorial reverse at its best. The 1972 proof program was routine and uneventful, a contrast to the excitement surrounding the 1972 Doubled Die Obverse in the circulation series. Cameo and deep cameo examples are available, and the 1972-S Proof remains an affordable addition to any proof cent collection.
