Proof and collector versions
Alongside the coins made for circulation, the Mint sold 5 collector versions of the 1999 1999 quarter — proofs and special finishes struck at San Francisco and sold directly in sets.These never entered circulation, so if your coin came out of a till or a jar it is not one of them. They carry an S mint mark and a mirror or satin finish that is obvious next to an ordinary coin. The scarcest was struck in 3,713,359.
