Mint Location And Areas Across The US

I'm also in DFW and it really is all Denver mint stuff around here.

I think as a general rule, you'll find mostly Philly mint east of the Mississippi and mostly Denver Mint to the west of it.

All good reasons to me!

I'm in New England so mostly I get P mints. However, the older the coin, the more likely I'll get a D mint. It's almost impossible to find a 2014-D or even a 2013-D. But it's a little easier to find a 2000-D, and the 1964-D is more common than the 1964.

California <- we get lots of D's here. Not many S' surprisingly

Virtually all D mints here in S. Cal. Even on the older coins.

When I lived in San Jose in the mid 70s, I frequently got S cents in my change, but as the years wore on D took over.

I remember as a cashier in August 1978, breaking open a roll of BU 1978 P cents and thought wow! We started seeing a lot of those, as well as no mintmarked 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982. Years later I was to learn that these were minted at San Francisco.

man, I've gone through 80 rolls to finish off my LMC set and my 2008-p is still weak and so are my 2009-p cents. still missing one of the types. the stack of LMC are 2009-d. I have 20 more rolls to go through. I need several more posts to reach 50, so when I do, I'd like to trade some Ds for some Ps. even the late 1990's D cents I'm finding are looking great.

Here in Joisey we get mostly P mint stuff (Philly is just across the river). However, I have been noticing many D-mint Statehood and National Parks Quarters lately (almost disproportional, it seems). Can't explain why, though. I have to go to Vegas in October for a wedding, and I presume that almost everything will be D, although I'll bet (wink) that there will also be many P's out there, due to the gambling industry, even though I believe that slot machines no longer take coins (DARN!). I'm missing a few D JFKs, so perhaps I'll try to get a few rolls of halves while I am out there.
