So on this website the mintage says 20,000... it is the 1999 Canadian Quarter, with a P on the back. It is not in the best shape but still cool!


Nice! Did you find it in a US guarters roll or a Candian quarters roll?

It was in a Canadian Roll. First one I have found, been through quite a few coin rolls over the past months.
it doesnt look any different to the two i have and they're just pocket change ?
I don't think there are different variations of the 1999 P Quarter... there just wasn't very many minted of them, 20,000. They were used for testing or something?
Strange !
aww man you're lucky that's a pretty rare coin i guess-- I've looked through rolls as well and have never found it. It was apparently issued for testing because it's a different type of metal (multi-ply plated steel)

I'll give you $3 for it...

The coin isn't even valued in both the charlton catalogue nor the canadian coin news' 'trends' section

Haha thanks for the offer but I am going to keep it. It looks nice now that it is in a plastic capsule.
haha i'd do the same. If you find another one though feel free to contact me  :D

I will do that! Went through 100$ in quarters today so next week when I get back to the bank again I will pick some more up and see what I get.
I would do that more, but I always feel awkward (i'm just a teen) and they get annoyed when I bring back the un-needed quarters (which they feel they have to recount)

anyways sometimes they're nice and actually search through their drawers for me

1999p quarters are 25$ (unofficial) in that grade...

Honi soit qui mal y pense.
Interesting, never looked into it, don't really give our quarters much thought because they're always around. There was a 1999-P Test Token Set, testing new plating. The 1999-P 25 cent coin in BU condition, can be purchased on eBay for $9 and $12 from a Canadian coin store.
