How do you know if a coin is a circulated coin?

The term "circulated" in the world of coins means not in mint condition. In particular, any coin that you find in change is by definition circulated. The way you can tell is by looking closely at the coin and checking for dents, scratches, wear and other signs that the coin has been used (circulated). If in doubt, get it graded by your local coin shop and have them evaluate it for you.

How do you tell if the 1951 Florin is circulated?

An uncirculated coin is bought at the time of it's release, in some sort of protective packaging. If it is out of the packaging, it loses it's status as "uncirculated" and becomes "almost uncirculated" (aUnc), ie. it has been handled. If a coin is in such good condition that you have trouble telling whether or not it has been circulated, get a magnifying glass and examine it very closely. A circulated coin will have very small scratches and nicks on the smooth surfaces. Discolouration or a darkening of the coin does not necessarily mean that it has been circulated.


Are 1911 liberty coins circulated or uncirculated?

Any coin can be circulated or uncirculated depending on whether it's been spent in change or not. A coin that's received directly from the Mint, or from a bank that received it from the Mint without handing it out in change, is uncirculated. As soon as the coin has been spent, it becomes circulated. An analogy is buying a new car. The moment you drive it off the lot after paying for it, it's now a used car even if you haven't driven halfway around the block. Note: Unless you know a coin's "provenance" (a fancy term that means "where it came from") that's difficult to determine circulated versus uncirculated when a coin shows no obvious wear.
