External references
San Francisco produced circulation-strike cents in 1974 bearing the "S" mintmark. The exact mintage is not separately confirmed in all references, as San Francisco's circulation production was tapering off during this period. The facility was shifting its focus almost entirely to proof coinage.
The 1974-S circulation cent is available to collectors, though it saw relatively limited production compared to Philadelphia and Denver. It carries no significant premium and is not considered scarce. Collectors who include it in their sets are documenting the tail end of San Francisco's role as a circulation-strike cent producer.
