Rare Canadian Quarters- What To Look For In Your Pocket Change

1973 LARGE BUST MOUNTIE QUARTER
With less than 10,000 pieces believed to have been made, the 1973 Large Bust quarter is one of the more popular rare Canadian coins. In 1973, to commemorate the 100th birthday of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the mint produced hundreds of millions of quarters that depicted a Mountie on horseback. A small number were made using the obverse of the 1972 Quarter. Circulated examples can be purchased for around $150, while mint state examples can be found for around $300-$500.
2000 P CARIBOU QUARTER
Around the turn of the millennium, the Royal Canadian Mint began experimenting with nickel-plating around a steel inner core. The coins were struck with a small “P” on the obverse side. A very small number of 2000 “P” Quarters were released into public circulation. If you find one of these in your change, this ultra-rare 2000 P quarter is worth as much as $10k.

    Thanks for the info. I had a 1973 quarter and wasnt sure how to tell the large from the small bust but your video helped me figure out that I did not have the rare one. Oh well, keep up the good work. See ya in the next one.

    1968 was a transition year from silver to nickel, as a result the RCM was not trying to trick anyone. LOL New sub.

    There's a specific year when the Canadian mint under produced the quarter. There were only 495,000 struck for the 1991 year. They stopped production for 1991 early, so they can work on producing the Canada 125 series of quarters for 1992. The lower No. of quarters minted in 1991, meant each quarter shot up in price due to rarity. Starting at 3.00 per coin.

    When they were putting out the "Mountie quarters" the government was complaining that people were not using them. They were estimating at the time only about half were being circulated. Over the next few decades they were used more often but there are still way too many still being saved to make them more than a curiosity.

    I have many 1973 Mountie coins but lots of luck finding the small bust in circulation. Many of the coins spoken of in these videos are no-shows in circulation, but yes, one can still find some silver coins in circulation as people turn in those accumulations in glass jars they inherited or clean out the sock drawer. Don't get your hopes too high.

    Yea chances of that are slim. Just saying that most silver coins were taken out of circulation for the 1968 quarter it is pretty unlikely your gonna find the silver variant. For the Mountie chances of finding a large bust is slim because a lot of coin collectors look for them. As for the 5 cents because it was a popular coin there are very few left in circulation.

    They also had trading cards for the 1973 RCMP. And a silver dollar. The big deal on the quarter is they started with the traditional bust and then went to a smaller one. The large bust pays over $50.
