The 1998-S Proof was produced at San Francisco with a mintage of approximately 2.09 million pieces, one of the lowest proof mintages in the Memorial series. Proof set sales dipped noticeably, possibly reflecting collector fatigue or the availability of competing Mint products.
The coin features the standard deep mirror fields and frosted devices. Deep cameo examples are readily available. The lower production figure gives this proof a minor distinction among 1990s issues, though it has not translated into a significant market premium.
