1980 Susan B Anthony Dollar Coin

Hello

About a week ago, I ask for some dollar coins at a
local Circle K store. One of the coins I got was
a 1980 Susan B Anthony dollar coin. This
nickel clad coin has no wear at all. It looks like
it was just release from the U.S. Mint. The coin
is stamp with the mint mark letter "S". This coin
has brilliance to it. The open area of this coin
is in such good condition, I could use it as a
mirror. The raised areas are very clean with no
wear or scratches on it.

Can someone tell me if the U.S. Mint issued Proof
Susan B Anthony coins from the San Francisco Mint?

As bad as this recession is here in Phoenix, it
would not surprise me to see someone spending there
coin collection. How sad to see this.

Someday, I do hope to get a 1981 Susan B Anthony
dollar coin from a bank, or store. No such luck
for now.

Yes. 3,544,806 proofs, 20,422,000 business strikes.

As Michael pointed out, yes they did. I've also seen 1980 business
strikes that had almost mirror-like surfaces. Are the design elements
"frosty", or is the entire surface mirror-like?

take care,

The raised area (her face), is frosty in appearance
with the remaining part with a mirror appearance.

Then it's probably a proof that got spent. Somewhere around here
I've got an "Impaired Proof Set" that I put together out of coins I
found in circulation.
