What is the value of a state quarter with an s mint?
Currently the San Francisco mint only produces proof coins. Every so often someone breaks up a proof set (accident / theft / ignorance) and spends the coins for their face value. However, once circulated, a proof coin loses whatever premium value it had when it was in its sealed package.
Look at the edge. If it's copper-colored you have a clad coin made of copper-nickel. In this case you can certainly hang onto it as an interesting find, but it unfortunately doesn't have any extra value. If the coin is lighter in color than a normal quarter and doesn't have a reddish edge, you probably have a silver quarter from a premium proof set. Even after circulation, the silver in it would be worth around $3.
