I am looking in my old Red Book (67th Edition) at the Washington quarter section. My question is, the mintage numbers shown for the years 1965, 1966, and 1967...does that include the SMS coins? I ask because in the quarter listings it does not show a separate listing for the SMS quarters. |

I find the mintages right after mint sets in the rear of the Red Book. 1965 2,360,000 1966 2,261,583 1967 1,863,344 I imagine they are the same numbers for each denomination within the sets. Edited by TNG

PCGS coinfacts has this info, as well. I believe they round off mintages.

I guess what I am trying to ask...the Red Book says the mintage of the 1965 quarter is 1,819,717,540 and if that number includes the SMS quarters? I saw in the mint set section they have mintages for those years but I was wondering if they were also included in the 1.8 billion number? By the way, the mint really pumped out the quarters in 1965 and 1967!! Holy cow! |

Not to be confusing quarters with nickels here but, I don't know if they are part of the totals but I don't think so. I do know that even tho there are no mintmarks, 1965 nickels were minted in San Francisco. In 1966 some nickels were minted at Phila and Denver, and 1967 all nickels were minted at Denver. Maybe different for Quarters? My buffalo and Jefferson book shows two separate mintages for 1967 nickels circulation strikes in 1967 of 107,325,800 ( same as number shown in Red Book in Jefferson nickels pages. ) and what appears to be an additional SMS strikes in 1967 of 1,863,344I would believe they are two separate numbers. We shouldn't add them together or subtract SMS from the regulars. Although they are not proofs, I bet they kept a record of SMS mintage by itself just like they do proofs. They just didn't make proofs those years. |

In 1966 some nickels were minted at Phila and Denver, and 1967 all nickels were minted at Denver. Yes they made 1965 nickels in San Francisco, 39 million of them. But they also made 12.4 million in Philadelphia and 82.3 million in Denver. No 1966 or 67 nickels were struck in Philadelphia. And in 67 Denver struck 76 million, but San Francisco struck 31 million as well. In 1966 Denver made 106.5 million and S made 50.4 million. |

Condor101, I made my statement misreading about the circulation strikes. I looked again and read it wrong in the book I looked at yesterday trying to help out.
I don't have that info you provided, but I bet you're right.
My comment is probably correct, but only for the circulation strikes. Not the SMS.
I apologize for the info I posted. Thanks for clearing that up.

Up through 1998 all production figures for the various coins include the mint set and SMS mintages. After 1998 these are separate so must be added together for total mintage.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
