So I have some 50 state quarters that now seem to include The District of Columbia, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and who knows where else that are minted in Philadelphia and Denver according to their mint marks.

What is unusual is that I have found 2 quarters with an S mint mark for San Fransisco. These two quarters (New York and Ohio) are the only 2 I have ever seen not minted in Philadelphia and Denver. And I have been through thousands of quarters.

Not only that, but these 2 with the S mint mark are a higher lustre and look much better sharper than the more common P or D coins. I have heard that the quarters were proofed in San Francisco, but how did I find these in circulation?
