The 1989-S Proof cent was produced at San Francisco with a mintage of approximately 3.22 million pieces. The proof set delivered that year arrived in the mail as the Berlin Wall was falling and the map of Europe was being redrawn. Collectors, of course, purchased these sets for the coins, not the headlines.
The 1989-S Proof displays clean, mirror-like fields with sharp frosted devices. Deep cameo examples are common from this era. The coin is affordable and widely held, a standard issue in the annual proof cent sequence.
