The only nickels* struck at San Francisco since the 1970s have been proof coins. Someone almost certainly broke open the case that held the original proof set and spent its contents. Not terribly bright, because a proof set costs much more than face value.
Unfortunately a proof coin that has been circulated loses its value due to damage from other coins, exposure to air, etc.
(*) To clear things up, the coin is called a nickel rather than "nickle"
