The 1986-S Proof was struck at San Francisco with a mintage of approximately 3.01 million pieces. The proof set reached collectors during the year of the Challenger disaster and the Statue of Liberty centennial, a year of contrasting emotions.
The coin features the standard deep mirror fields and frosted devices of San Francisco proof production. The 1986-S Proof is one of the lower-mintage proof cents from the 1980s, though it remains affordable and readily available.
