<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1013800, member: 19065&quot;]Yes, some do end up in circulation, it&#039;s no mystery. Often enough you will find them reported in this thread: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=10176&amp;pagenumber=" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=10176&amp;pagenumber=">Roll-searchers, post your results!</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Many find their way into circulation, as do other proofs and collector version coins. They are commonly referred to as NFC - Not For Circulation. I&#039;ve posted in a couple threads in just the last month or so on finding a Washington Proof golden dollar coin in change: See <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=124672&amp;p=975107&amp;viewfull=1#post975107" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=124672&amp;p=975107&amp;viewfull=1#post975107">Post #79</a> in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another CT&#039;er found this 69-s Proof half coin: See <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=131059&amp;p=1002310&amp;viewfull=1#post1002310" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=131059&amp;p=1002310&amp;viewfull=1#post1002310">Post #4</a> in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another <i>guess</i> for reasoning why some enter circulation is that those coins (non precious metals collector version coins: clad, pres dollars, sac dollars) perhaps cracked out of sets (or bags/rolls) not worthy of achieving a higher slab grade if submitted to a TPG, and which may be common or higher mintage, aren&#039;t worth anything so one might as well spend them in circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
