That is so weird. I was just getting ready to log-off for the night and said; let me scan the forum one more time. I literally just put this in a flip. I found it yesterday going through a box of half's. The proof luster is completely gone! It almost slipped past me. I almost completely missed it! This is the only commemorative I have ever found in circulation.

Do you consider the 2009 Lincoln Cent,2017-P Lincoln Cent commemorative coins? There are a bunch more of that type in different denominations as well. John1

USSID18,
Yes, I found 2 of the statue of liberty 1986 in the same roll. That roll also had a Saudi Riyal and 1944 & 1954 silver halfs. The reason for my question was this was the first time I had ever seen a commemorative coin pop up in a roll search.

What's a Saudi Riyal?

Not US, and not in a roll, but I've snagged a 1964 Canadian Charlottetown commemorative silver dollar from circulation in the US. This would have been about 4 years ago.

Quote:But both of those years commemorate something  Yes, that's true. Every coin ever minted commemorates something. A 1982 cent commemorates 1982. A 1983 cent commemorates 1983. A 1984 cent commemorates 1984. A 1985 cent commemorates 1985.

I've never found a commem in circulation, but I did find one in a roll several years ago. I posted this in another topic a few months back. Found in half dollar roll:
