justphilip2003 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 7:44 pm I've been away from coin collecting for many years and I was wondering if some kind soul could tell me what year that the "S" mint marked coins ceased to be made for general circulation? TIA Report this Post to the Staff

AlbumAccumulator Pillar of the Community United States 649 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 8:30 pm The Susan B Anthony dollars were made with S mints until 1981, although the 1981 was only issued in Mint Sets. Cents were last issued in 1974 and Nickels in 1970. The last year for dimes was 1955. Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 10:55 am San Francisco made some circulation strike cents in the 90s, but these were released without the mintmark and cannot be distinguished from the Philly cents during those years. Philly and Denver are more than capable of meeting the nation's needs, so I doubt that we'll be seeing any more S-mint coins intended for circulation. But, the S mint made pretty much every denomination until 1955 when it was closed for renovations until 1968. Cents were made there from 1968-1974; nickels from 1968-1970. They never resumed making dimes, quarters, and halves for circulation. SBA dollars were made there for circulation in 1979 and 1980. Report this Post to the Staff
