Can you still find 1991 quarters in the wild

Post by GBELEC » Thu Jan 11, 2024 3:48 pm

Sorry for no photos as I have mentioned in the past I’m not good with computer stuff.
But I was coin roll hunting and had to look several times to believe my eyes but I have found a 1991 quarter for my collection. It is in poor condition but that fits right in with most of my coins. :D

some may be found out there, but rarer due to multi-ply plating

RCM Multi-ply plated circulation coins are proudly produced by the skilled technicians of the Mint’s Winnipeg facility, where all circulation coins, for Canada and countries from around the globe are produced.

I thought they held a bit of a premium because of their mintage . I’ve been keeping my eye out for one in my coin roll hunting for years . In fact I picked up a 1991 proof set down in the US at a coin store a few years ago for $15 US dollars . Was a buy for the set I thought and it gave me a quarter even if it was a proof . Was truly shocked to find one hunting rolls.

Great find!
I've been looking for over 30 years without luck.
