The 1980-S Proof cent was struck at San Francisco with a mintage of approximately 3.55 million pieces. The proof program remained popular with collectors, and the 1980 sets were delivered during a year of economic anxiety and political change.
The 1980-S Proof features well-struck devices on mirror fields. Deep cameo examples, with strong frosting on Lincoln's portrait and the Memorial columns, are increasingly common from this era of proof production. The coin is affordable and widely available. It holds no particular distinction among annual proof cent issues beyond its year.
