The 2022-S Proof Lincoln Shield cent was struck at the San Francisco Mint with a mintage of approximately 863,886 pieces. The sub-million production continued the trend seen in 2021, reflecting a stabilized but smaller proof set collector base. The proof cent features the familiar mirror-and-frost cameo finish that collectors prize.
The 2022-S proof is part of a consistent series of Shield reverse proofs from San Francisco. Collectors who maintain year-by-year proof sets add each new date automatically, and the slightly lower mintages of the early 2020s may give these coins marginal additional value over time compared to the higher-mintage proofs of the mid-2010s. Each coin is struck on a polished planchet using specially prepared dies and inspected before inclusion in the sealed proof set.
