1990 no s lincoln cent?????????

Not only is it not an "s," but it is not a majority of the English alphabet as well.

Proof?  Aw jeez... the thing ain't even real!   Taking some surplus metal from the strategic scrap pile and giving it to a boot black to shine up does not, a Proof, make.

And please do not feed into this "business strike" nonsense.  Since the Mayflower landed in 1620, there were only two types of coins: Proofs and circulation strikes. Some of these denizens of the deep find themselves to be better than others, thus the term Uncirculated.  Proofs, owing to the nature of their creation retain that descriptor for life.  If some card-carrying numismatist commits the unspeakable and dares to liberate such a coin from its OGH, all is not lost.  It is assigned a number befitting it's latest visual incarnation, warts and all.

Yes, it is a no "S". Just a regular cent minted in Philadelphia. Only proof coins were minted in San Francisco, of which this coin show's no sign of being.
