thbjr New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/26/2025 8:32 pm I've been cataloging my small dollar coins into spreadsheets and wanted to know minting numbers of each. In looking for that information I ran across several sites that showed numbers for the Sacagawea dollars, all years and all(?) mint marks. https://coinmintages.com/sacagawea-...ars-mintage/ Note that all the S, San Francisco mintage, numbers are proofs. So I found a 2008 S in a bank roll and am curious about if it started life as a proof? Were regular S coins minted? If so, how many were minted? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95200 Posts	Posted 05/26/2025 9:34 pm agreed, this is still a proof strike, but when a proof finds it's way into circulation we call them 'impaired' Collecting since 1972.

Freespeech57 Pillar of the Community United States 617 Posts	Posted 05/26/2025 10:52 pm Once a proof coin, always a proof coin. A proof coin is minted on a specially prepared planchet and struck at least twice. Report this Post to the Staff
thbjr New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 05/26/2025 11:10 pm Thanks guys. That answers my question and more. I had no idea what a proof coin that was in circulation was called. It does look pretty "impaired" now. Report this Post to the Staff
