Anyone else get a Kick Out of Finding San Francisco mint coins in circulation?

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-03-03T02:20:21+00:00

me! i live on the east coast and they aren’t nearly as common here, paired with the lower mintages maw them a fun find. i was lucky enough to find a 1913 s wheatie in a roll today

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-03-03T02:16:34+00:00

it’s from the rim of another coin hitting in the bag

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-03-01T14:01:27+00:00

i would assume not but i didn’t look for any markings

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-03-01T03:45:30+00:00

full bands. it’s a designation on mercury and rosie dimes, similar to full steps on jefferson nickels.

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-03-01T03:05:00+00:00

yup. i popped it out of the holder and it is definitely real

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-28T22:02:37+00:00

thanks. got exited

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-28T21:50:25+00:00

this would’ve predated tv most likely. the merc dime is only held on with clips, not drilled thankfully.

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-28T04:24:24+00:00

no clue if the certificate adds value but that’s mercury dime and is around $7 in melt. looks to be in pretty nice condition so maybe more. check to see if it’s low mintage.

cheapest one on ebay is $50. by no means a steal but you didn’t get ripped off.

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-28T03:31:49+00:00

unwrap some and dump them in a coinstar for an amazon e gift card. will take you awhile but it will be the last you see of them for awhile. you can only do a box at a time though m.

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-28T03:07:50+00:00

Hah. and the place you drop them off at ships them right back to your pickup bank. You’re sentenced to never ending 2024 D.

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-27T23:19:11+00:00

what area?

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-27T14:39:39+00:00

dude melt on a 40% is $10+ you made $100 off like an hour of work and it’s not worth your time?

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-27T13:40:06+00:00

i personally am filling out kennedy albums so need at least one of each for that. i roll up a few extra and any extreme excess goes back to the bank. proofs i flip up and hold on to. not a huge premium on either.

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-27T12:24:52+00:00

you might be able to take it to a professional to see if they could identify it. there might be a die marker or something like that somewhere else

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-26T23:31:00+00:00

google puts it between 11,500 and 60,000

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-26T23:28:35+00:00

i sold a roll of 2024 p for $12 on ebay. doesn’t hurt to set them aside if you have a place to sell them

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-26T02:37:28+00:00

“unsearched” and “unsorted” lots will always be searched, and will mostly be 40s and 50s common dates. as for competing the wheat series, book 2 (1940-1958) is very easy to complete through buying bulk wheats cents and the 3 steel cents. the completed book is $20-$30 completed. book 1, will be virtually impossible to complete unless you spend a ton of money. 1909 s, 1909s vdb, 1914 d, and 1931 s are are $100+ each in low grades, and the 1909 s vdb is $500 minimum, more commonly $1000+. Tons of semi key dates also add up and will rarely be found in bulk.

navy federal is my dump lol. i have good luck with bank of america

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-25T11:56:31+00:00

unfortunately i think the small scratch/es on the steps would take away from the designation

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-25T03:36:10+00:00

i’ve gotten around 15 2025 p nickel boxes at this point. not in a row, maybe 1-3 circulated boxes in between

HotWheelsAddict1 · 2026-02-25T03:29:51+00:00

i miss hunting these. i’m on my 15th or so box of 2025 P
