I think you might be thinking the 1970-S see http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1970Ssmalldate.html

Also we have a hard time finding the 1974-S see http://www.realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3358&hilit=+1974+s

I also found this by typing 1973 in the search box on realcent and found that in 1973 some cents were missing the VDB.

See--http://lynncoins.com/proofcoin_article.htm

Also Franklin Found both of coins in rolls the 1977-S is a proof after 1974 all s mint mark cents are proff. This is a scan of a D and S pulled out of rolls and you can see the difference with a bad scan!
