The San Francisco Mint stopped producing pennies for circulation in 1974. However, it continued to strike proof cents for collectors until 1974. After that, the mint focused on producing other denominations of coins for circulation and commemorative coinage.
There was a brief period of 1965-67 when no U.S. coins had any mint marks. However, since 1968, D and S mint marks returned, and P was added to most coins in 1980. Philadelphia pennies still lack a mint mark, but Denver ones are marked with D, and proofs from San Francisco have the S.
The San Francisco Mint ceased producing quarters for circulation in 1937. However, it continued to produce commemorative and proof coins, including quarters, for collectors after that date. The facility has since been repurposed and is no longer involved in coin production.
