Unlike the Philadelphia and Denver Mints, the San Francisco Mint does not offer public tours, and (as far as I know) lacks a gift shop. The Denver Mint gift shop also sells new commemorative Silver Dollars and "collector" (Proof/Unc. "W" mint mark) Gold coins. Edited by DNA

I was in San Fran last year to go to the mint and was very sad that it was being guarded by police and M16's. I did get a picture next to the old mint which was cool

Silver's already back up to $37.xx. Once it passes $40, the Silver Proof Sets may be pulled from sale again...  |

No kidding, they'll probably be pulled off of the shelf again if silver zips past $40/oz. Not to mention that the Mint's cost at the time of striking was probably $25/oz.

One of the 2011 Silver Proof Quarters Sets I bought had what appeared to be a spot on the field of the Chickasaw Quarter. I popped open the lens. Upon loupe inspection, the spot turned out to be on the plastic insert inside of the lens housing. I forgot these new Sets have the coins sealed in a plastic insert card inside the lens.  Maybe I should crack this particular Set open so I won't have to look at the OGP's distracting spot floating over the coin...  Edited by DNA

Mine arrived yesterday. Great looking coins. Quote:
Why not crack them all? I have. They now reside with my clad and proof ATB Dansco. They look even better in the album. Although you can't tell the difference between proof and silver. Doesn't matter. I know.  |

jbuck: Why not crack them all? Only 81,287 of the 2011 Silver Quarters Sets have been sold as of last Thursday. If this Set fails to reach 100K before the next sales suspension, that particular box/COA could be an uncommon item (even if the inner blister pack has a nasty little spot over the Chickasaw Quarter ).
