The 1979S and 1980S SBAs were released for circulation but the 1981S SBAs were not circulated.

How do I get the "S-Mints"? Easy: They're not rare!:

109,576,000 1979-San Francisco SBA Dollars were minted for circulation. (This is more than the 1980 SBA output for all three mints (P,D,S) combined!)

20,422,000 1980-San Francisco SBA Dollars were minted for circulation.

Check it out: http://www.coinfacts.com/silver_dol...yDollars.htm

You may as well keep your set, but really the value of the uncirculated-condition business strike 1979-80 SBA's in your set is around $1.50 each 'retail' (so $9 for the set). At least you didn't pay $30 on ebay, because that really would make us cry (tears of pity! )

The purpose of this forum is to educate people so that they don't pay $30 for a set of common SBA's like this on ebay.
If you paid $12, that's not a 'tragic' overpay like $30 would be!

The Treasury is still storing Millions of 1979-80 (and 1999) SBA's, and new uncirculated SBA's appear in the Light Rail change fairly regularly (like the 1999 I just got!).

Coindexter - if you'd care to go to the Main Coin Forum, and click on the topic "continuing list of everyone's latest acquisitions" go to page 4, about halfway down the page you can see scans of both the near date and far date side by side.

Coindexter, first rule of coin collecting forums:

1. NEVER, NEVER NEVER admit to paying more than face for: SBA's, Sacagawea's, Statehood Quarters and Presidential dollars. (It's actually good form to deny that you own any of these or you "may have some in a jar somewhere".)

Ignoring this rule will bring the ridicule and wrath of all the "real" coin collectors!

Not even if they're PROOFS!

Heck, even the coin shops think that only proofs of those types of coins are worth stocking in their cases....

I tried to see what 'uncirculated' SBA's like coindexter's were going for in shops, but ALL of the SBA's that I saw in shops were Proofs or Mint Sets.

At one shop, I overheard them tell a customer looking for regular Andrew Jackson dollars that he should go buy them from the Denver Mint!
