A small number of 1971-S Proof examples without the S mint mark are known as errors; the figure shown is the reported standard Proof issue mintage.
San Francisco Proof strike (S). Not a circulation-strike mintage.
Mintage is a compiled historical Proof figure, not a retail-price estimate. Some catalogues use different counting conventions for set sales and varieties.
