In Yahoo answers concerning pennies, I was told that in 2002 the S.F. mint produced 3,298,439 proofs. Are these proofs just of pennies or proof sets that contain all the coins? Do they have the S mint mark?

Total sets was 3,211,995. Each set contains the proof Lincoln cent from San Francisco with the "S" mint mark.

Proof sets with the S mint mark have been issued since 1968. The early ones contain the cent through the 1/2 dollar in most years. There are exceptions when they had dollar coins in them and of course state quarters. They will now have the presidential dollars. Not sure yet as to how that will be done. During different years the also made special proof sets that had the dime, quarter and half dollar in silver as well as maybe a special coin. In 2002 the cent was included in the regular proof set as well as the silver ones.

All coins struck at the SF Mint have the "S" mark. Proof sets come in different sizes, some include half-dollars, etc.. some do not. Here's an article explaining what the SF mint does today, as well as a bit of history.
