<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 23347013, member: 27832&quot;]When I first got interested in coin collecting (in Maryland), S mints were the holy grail. Even for cents, while they were being struck for circulation, I could search <i>hundreds</i> without finding a single S.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the past ten or twenty years, I&#039;ve found <i>maybe</i> half a dozen in my change, out of probably tens of thousands of cents. I still keep them; I can&#039;t help myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oddly, SBA dollars with an S mintmark <i>weren&#039;t</i> that unusual. (Of course, there wasn&#039;t much &quot;usual&quot; circulation on those anyhow.) I&#039;m guessing that if Kennedy halves or gold dollars were struck in SF for &quot;circulation&quot;, they probably would turn up fairly frequently as well. Nearly all their &quot;circulation&quot; is back and forth between banks and roll-searchers. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
