canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 7:12 pm I'm wondering... are these 25 cent actually circulating? I've only recently discovered these coins in my drawer and do not have the latest Catalogue. J&M is listing them in the MS category however none are listed in PL which is what I think I have (released in 5 coin cellophane envelope). Report this Post to the Staff

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 7:34 pm I can not tell you with authority, but I believe they are circulated due to what I paid for mine. I got mine at a coin show; around 70-cents each for the 'plain' 1812 quarters and 95-cents each for the coloured ones. It's true that they all 'look' uncirculated, but I'm pretty sure that it would have cost me triple (at least) if they were truly from mint sets or PL varieties. Report this Post to the Staff

Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 8:39 pm They are circulation coins. Together with buying packs from the mint, I pull out of change the commemorative coins, and these also were in change couple of years ago. But haven't seen one for a while, just because that many people take the coins out from circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
Alex A Pillar of the Community 710 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 4:51 pm Yes, all of the quarters from the 1812 theme are circulating. I found a few in change last month. Report this Post to the Staff
