  1930 looks San fran

  Collect raw morgans, walkers, mercs, SLQ, barber q. Looking at getting into earlier date coins pre 1900s.

  I agree on the 1930 is San Fran. The 1919 is Philadelphia.

  Sadly they are not worth much over face value, still a fun and cool change find.

  They're only worth a few cents. But those are really cool for change finds.

  I agree. Nice finds, and worth holding on to.
  
  Over the past couple years, I've been seeing more collectible coins in circulation, that I did over the previous 23 years of collecting. People appear to be cleaning something out.

  The 1930 has the "S" mint mark under the date so it is was minted in San Francisco. The 1919 has no mint mark so it was minted in Philadelphia.
  
  As others have said they are not worth much more than face value. The 1930-S has some sharpness, but it has been cleaned. The piece has VF sharpness and should be the same color as the 1919. That red color is only found on Mint State pieces. The 1919 appears to be in Good-Very Good.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.
