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.

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.
