1974S

Are these worth setting aside? I know that, in general, S pennies should be kept separate, but there seems to be so many 1974S pennies that I wonder if they are really worth more. Thnaks. -james

I already have a full roll of each S mint memorial cent so all of the ones I find now go into the copper pile.

I find 68-74 'S' mint pennies roughly as often as wheat pennies. If you keep and separate wheat pennies, you should keep and separate 'S' mints. Considering that most of the wheat pennies have been pulled out of circulation due to their obvious reverse, 'S' mint pennies are more rare than wheat pennies since nobody notices them.
