You may get a thick edge in one section but rarely if ever all the way around.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Proofs are made for collectors and since 1968 have pretty much all been from San Francisco with an S mintmark.&nbsp; Since 1975 San Francisco has only made S marked coins for circulation in 1979 and 1980 and those were SBA dollars only.&nbsp; Almost all other S mint coins after 1975 are proofs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The weight is slightly high but not significantly so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
