Isn't often that I find an S-mint in change.

Worthless, but it's a keeper for me. I only find S-mints once in a black and blue purple polka-dotted moon, and those are always CENTS, yet alone a nickel.

  • Here on the West Coast, I see S-mint coins on a fairly regular basis. I'd say I see more S-mint coins than Philadelphia coins that are less than five years old...
  • No supprise given that the San Francisco mint is on the West coast.
  • Some time ago someone said they always check the coinstar rejects for strange things.

    I didn't even know we had one in town but I saw one today,

    Checked the reject and got

    a 1954D Rosy.

    Not Bad.

  • I live in the West (Colorado) and still keep the S-mint Jeffs. I've gotten 102 out of about 15,000 nickels gone through.
    Some call it an accumulation not a collection
  • I checked one last week after reading that post also and wouldn't you know it , found something. A 2003 nice and clean canadian penny. Kids thought it was the coolest thing!
    putting together a MS 60 and up Morgan set....60% complete...otlher 40% probably take the rest of the decade!
