2009 Canadian 25-Cent (Quarter) Value Guide
Complete 2009 Canadian quarter value guide covering all seven designs — Caribou, Cross-Country Skiing, Speed Skating, Sledge Hockey, and three colourized Golden Moments Olympic issues. CAD prices by grade (circulated to MS67), finish (Business Strike, SP, Silver Proof), and the rare Raised 2 variety.
Most 2009 Canadian quarters found in circulation are worth exactly $0.25 — their face value. Collector premiums depend on design, colour variant, finish, and grade.
- Circulated (any design, any wear):$0.25 face value only
- Brilliant Uncirculated / BU (MS60–62):$0.50–$0.75 (standard designs) | $1.00–$1.95 (colourized Golden Moments)
- Gem Uncirculated (MS65):$16.60–$18.50 (Caribou & Olympic sports) | $31.20–$33.60 (colourized Golden Moments)
- Trophy Grade (MS67): up to $116–$130 (Caribou, top of known population)
- Specimen / SP (sets only):$2.90–$29.40 depending on design
- Silver Proof / PR (sets only):$11.30–$19.60
Not silver — magnetic: All standard 2009 quarters are multi-ply plated steel; a magnet will attract them. There is no precious metal content — $0.25 is the absolute intrinsic floor. Shiny coin from a set? Proof-Like and Specimen coins are graded on separate population curves from business strikes — do not compare values directly. All values in CAD as of February 2026.

The 2009 Canadian quarter stands as one of the most design-diverse years in the denomination's history. The Royal Canadian Mint's Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games program temporarily displaced the classic Caribou reverse, releasing six commemorative designs alongside the traditional issue — including three Golden Moments designs that were distributed in both plain metal and colourized red-maple-leaf variants directly into circulation. All 2009 quarters carry the Susanna Blunt fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, introduced in 2003. For the full historical context and multi-year pricing of the denomination, visit the Canadian Quarter Value Guide.
Note: Errors such as wrong-planchet strikes exist for 2009 quarters but are outside the scope of this standard value guide.

2009 Canadian Quarter Composition & Melt Value
Every standard 2009 Canadian quarter — whether a circulation business strike, a colourized Golden Moments variant, or a base-metal collector issue — is produced using the Royal Canadian Mint's patented Multi-Ply Plated Steel (MPPS) technology. The process begins with a low-carbon commercial steel core blank, onto which alternating micro-layers are electroplated: first a bonding layer of nickel, then a thicker copper layer for malleability and precise relief striking, then a final nickel top coat that delivers the coin's bright silver-like appearance and corrosion resistance. The precise alloy breakdown is 94% steel, 3.8% copper, and 2.2% nickel plating.
Because the copper and nickel are deposited in microscopic electroplated thicknesses, the recoverable metal content is commercially negligible — the cost of smelting and refining a 2009 quarter would far exceed the market value of the base metals extracted. Accordingly, the intrinsic melt value of a 2009 Canadian quarter is negligible, and the financial floor for any circulated example is strictly its face value of $0.25 CAD.
Magnet Test — Critical Authentication Check
Because the core is steel, all standard 2009 quarters are strongly ferromagnetic. A common refrigerator magnet will hold one firmly. This is the single fastest authentication and composition check:
- Sticks strongly to magnet: Correct — standard MPPS composition. Confirm weight: 4.40 grams.
- Does not stick to magnet: Either a sterling silver Proof collector issue (which weighs approximately 27.78 grams and is non-magnetic) or a potential wrong-planchet anomaly — verify weight immediately with a precision scale.
The Royal Canadian Mint produced .925 sterling silver Proof versions of several 2009 quarter designs for premium collector sets. These silver variants weigh approximately 27.78 grams, do not respond to a magnet, and are produced to an entirely different specification from the circulation or base-metal collector coins. All collector table pricing in this guide explicitly notes whether values apply to base-metal or silver issues.
2009 Canadian Quarter Value Chart by Design & Grade
The 2009 Canadian quarter series encompasses seven distinct reverse designs across multiple finishes. Values are organized below by product type: circulation business strikes (including colourized variants) followed by sets-only collector finishes. Any coin with wear from commercial circulation grades at face value ($0.25) regardless of design — all numismatic premiums require a fully uncirculated example with no rub or field abrasion.
⚠️ Never Clean Your Coins
The MPPS nickel plating is extremely thin. Wiping a 2009 quarter with a cloth or applying any chemical dip instantly inflicts microscopic hairlines across the fields. Third-party graders classify cleaned coins as "Uncirculated-Details (Cleaned)," eliminating all numismatic premium regardless of design or rarity.
Grade comparison: a circulated 2009 Canadian quarter (left, worth face value only) versus a Gem Uncirculated MS65 example (right). The MS65 coin displays undisturbed cartwheel luster and an absence of the contact marks that plague steel-planchet coins struck at high speed. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
2009 Canadian Quarter — Business Strike (Circulation)
The following table covers all designs released for general commerce. Grades map as follows: Circulated = any worn coin; BU (MS60–62) = uncirculated but exhibiting noticeable bag marks and transit chatter from high-speed hopper ejection; Gem Unc (MS65) = superb visual appeal with only minute imperfections visible under 10× magnification. Prices from the Coins and Canada price guide and supplementary sources.
| Design / Type | Variant | Circulated | BU (MS60–62) | Gem Unc (MS65) | Mintage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caribou (Standard) | Business Strike | $0.25 | $0.50–$0.75 | $16.60 | 266,766,000 |
| Cross-Country Skiing | Business Strike | $0.25 | $0.50–$0.75 | $18.50 | 22,400,000 |
| Speed Skating | Business Strike | $0.25 | $0.50–$0.75 | $17.80 | 22,400,000 |
| Sledge Hockey (Paralympic) | Business Strike | $0.25 | $0.50–$0.75 | $17.00 | 22,400,000 |
| Men's Ice Hockey | Non-colourized | $0.25 | $0.50–$0.75 | $16.90 | 19,000,000 |
| Men's Ice Hockey | Colourized (red maple leaf) | $0.25 | $1.00–$1.95 | $33.60 | 3,000,000 |
| Women's Ice Hockey | Non-colourized | $0.25 | $0.50–$0.75 | $17.20 | 19,000,000 |
| Women's Ice Hockey | Colourized (red maple leaf) | $0.25 | $1.00–$1.95 | $31.20 | 3,000,000 |
| Cindy Klassen | Non-colourized | $0.25 | $0.50–$0.75 | $18.20 | 19,000,000 |
| Cindy Klassen | Colourized (red maple leaf) | $0.25 | $1.00–$1.95 | $32.30 | 3,000,000 |
Values in CAD, February 2026. A severe value cliff exists between MS64 and MS65 — coins grading MS60–MS64 typically carry only minimal premiums of under a few dollars. For trophy-grade MS66–MS67 auction results, see the Notable Variants & Trophy Grades section. Additional NGC pricing reference: NGC Price Guide KM 916 | NGC Price Guide KM 1064.
ℹ️ Olympic Roll Hoarding Effect
Hundreds of millions of 2009 Olympic quarters were hoarded by the Canadian public during Vancouver 2010 Olympic excitement. Because BU rolls were produced under high-volume conditions and coins transited through high-speed sorting hoppers, examples grading MS60–MS64 are abundant with bag marks. Spending money on third-party grading for any coin with visible field abrasions will result in a financial loss — grading fees far exceed the MS63 market value for these coins.
2009 Canadian Quarter — Collector Finishes (Sets Only)
The following products were never distributed to banks — they were sold exclusively through Royal Canadian Mint collector sets. Because these coins are struck under elevated pressure, immediately sealed, and never subjected to bulk transit, their baseline preservation is inherently high. Grades of SP65–SP67 and PR66–PR68 are considered typical for these formats, and they do not exhibit the extreme price cliffs seen in business strikes until the mathematically perfect SP69 or PR70 echelon.
| Design / Product | Finish | Typical SP65–SP67 | Typical PR66–PR68 (Silver) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caribou (Standard) | Base Metal / Silver Sets | $2.90–$19.60 | $11.30–$14.70 | SP range spans multiple set types; PR column = silver issues |
| Canada Day Edition | SP Set-Only | $19.60–$29.40 | — | Coloured coin; sets only; no silver PR version documented |
| Notre-Dame-du-Saguenay | SP Set-Only | $24.50 | — | Sets only; no silver PR version documented |
| Cross-Country Skiing | PR Sets Only (Silver) | — | $19.60 | Sterling silver (.925); non-magnetic; approx. 27.78 g |
| Speed Skating | PR Sets Only (Silver) | — | $19.60 | Sterling silver (.925); non-magnetic; approx. 27.78 g |
| Sledge Hockey (Paralympic) | PR Sets Only (Silver) | — | $19.60 | Sterling silver (.925); non-magnetic; approx. 27.78 g |
ℹ️ PL Set Contamination
Many Proof-Like sets have been broken open over the years. A "shiny" 2009 Canadian quarter found loose is almost certainly a PL coin, not a rare high-grade business strike. Dealers frequently discount raw "Uncirculated" 2009 quarters for this reason. PL and SP coins must be evaluated on their own separate population curves and are not comparable to MS business strike values.
⚠️ PVC Damage Risk
Proof-Like coins stored in original pliofilm (cellophane) packaging for decades can develop green PVC residue on the surface. If you observe any green film, professional conservation with pure acetone is required — do not use nail polish remover or abrasive cleaners. PVC-damaged coins revert to face value.

Most Valuable 2009 Canadian Quarter Varieties & Trophy Grades
The extreme value premiums in the 2009 quarter series arise from two distinct sources: exceptional preservation reaching trophy-pop grade levels on the notoriously difficult steel planchet, and one verifiable documented die variety on the colourized Men's Hockey Golden Moments issue. Neither category involves manufacturing errors — these are condition rarities and a catalogued die variant.
A. Trophy-Level Results (Not Typical)
The following documented high-end results apply to top-of-population certified examples only. A single microscopic scratch can drop a coin from MS67 to MS64, eliminating 80–90% of its market value. These figures represent the absolute pinnacle of known certified specimens — not what you will receive for a shiny coin found in a roll.
| Coin | Why It Reaches This Level | Grade Required | Documented High-End Result (CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 Caribou Standard | Absolute pinnacle of preservation for a 266-million-mintage coin on a steel planchet; tied for highest known grade | MS-67 | ~$116.00–$129.99 |
| 2009 Men's Ice Hockey Coloured — Raised 2 variety | Rarest documented die variety of the year combined with pristine pad-printed enamel; significantly lower survival rate in high MS grades | MS-66 | $118.00 |
| 2009 Cindy Klassen Coloured | Fragile red ink application makes a fully intact MS-66 example a significant challenge to locate | MS-66 | $47.10 |
| 2009 Sledge Hockey (Paralympic) | Single-year commemorative type; pristine examples scarce due to heavy hoarding of lower-grade rolls | MS-67 | $42.70 |

B. Findable Variety — The 2009 Men's Hockey "Raised 2" vs. "Incuse 2"
The most significant and universally documented variety of the 2009 Canadian quarter series occurred on the colourized Men's Ice Hockey Golden Moments issue. During the production run, a variation in the working dies affected how the commemorative date "2002" interacted with the relief of the hockey player's leg. This variety is only relevant on the colourized version of the Men's Hockey coin — non-colourized Men's Hockey coins and other Golden Moments designs do not carry this distinction.
Close-up diagnostic: the Raised 2 variety (left, rare) versus the standard Incuse 2 (right, common) on the 2009 colourized Men's Ice Hockey quarter. Examine the final "2" in "2002" where it overlaps the player's leg under 10× magnification. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
| Variety | Charlton Ref. | How to Identify (10× loupe required) | Why Rarer? | Value at MS65 | Value at MS66 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| "Raised 2" (Rare) | Noted against RC-671 | The final "2" in "2002" protrudes outward (convex, in relief) above the surface contour of the player's leg | Results from a specific shorter-lived die state or re-engraving event; significantly lower survival rate in high MS grades | $56.00 | $118.00 |
| "Incuse 2" (Standard) | Ch# RC-671 | The final "2" in "2002" is stamped concave — pressed into the surface of the player's leg | Mass-produced standard die iteration; far more common | $33.60 | — |
Refer to the Saskatoon Coin Club Canadian 25-Cent Major Variety Reference for the full diagnostic documentation of this variety.
C. Colourized vs. Non-Colourized — An Intentional Rarity Split
Colourized (left) versus non-colourized (right) Golden Moments Men's Ice Hockey quarter. The red pad-printed dot-matrix maple leaf is immediately visible on the colourized variant. Mintage: 3 million colourized versus 19 million plain metal — a roughly 6:1 ratio. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
The Royal Canadian Mint intentionally created a rarity differential by producing colourized versions of all three Golden Moments designs at one-sixth the mintage of the plain-metal equivalents (3,000,000 vs. 19,000,000 per design). Because the red pad-printing process is susceptible to flaking, chipping, and environmental degradation, locating a perfectly intact colourized example at MS65 or higher is significantly more difficult than finding a plain-metal counterpart at the same grade. The result: colourized Golden Moments coins command approximately double the price of their plain counterparts in lower MS grades, with a proportionally larger premium at gem levels. Authentic RCM pad printing exhibits a fine, almost dot-matrix texture under high magnification — dense or glossy-looking ink indicates an aftermarket forgery that destroys all numismatic value.
2009 Canadian Quarter Identification Guide
With seven distinct reverse designs, multiple finishes, colourized variants, and one documented die variety, the 2009 Canadian quarter requires a systematic identification approach. Use the following checklist to isolate exactly what you have before looking up its value.
30-Second Identification Checklist
2009 Canadian quarter obverse: Susanna Blunt's fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, uncrowned, wearing a simple pearl necklace. The Royal Canadian Mint logo (stylized maple leaf inside a circle) appears below the neck truncation — confirming post-2006 manufacturing. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
Step 1 — Monarch Check: Confirm the coin bears the Susanna Blunt portrait of Queen Elizabeth II — mature, right-facing, uncrowned profile with a simple pearl necklace. Below the neck truncation, verify the Royal Canadian Mint logo (a stylized maple leaf inside a circle). This logo replaced the older "P" composition mark in 2006 and confirms post-2006 manufacturing. This is the fourth portrait era (Bare Head, 2003–2022).
Step 2 — Reverse Design Identification: Turn the coin over and identify the specific motif:
- Caribou: Emanuel Hahn's classic left-facing caribou head; "CANADA" arcing left, "2009" right.
- Cross-Country Skiing: Skier in dynamic forward motion leaning heavily on poles.
- Speed Skating: Athlete in the low, aerodynamic crouch of short-track or long-track skating.
- Sledge Hockey (Paralympic): Athlete seated in a specialized sledge, wielding two short sticks.
- Men's Ice Hockey (Golden Moments): Player with arms raised in victory; text "2002 MEN'S HOCKEY MASCULIN" present.
- Women's Ice Hockey (Golden Moments): Female player in triumphant pose acknowledging the 2002 gold medal.
- Cindy Klassen (Golden Moments): Speed-skating stride; text "CINDY KLASSEN" and "2006" commemorating her five-medal Turin performance.
Note: A Bobsleigh design was released for circulation in early 2009, but its obverse carries the date 2008, classifying it numismatically as a 2008 issue regardless of release window.
Step 3 — Colour Check (Golden Moments designs only): If the coin is a Men's Hockey, Women's Hockey, or Cindy Klassen design, inspect the stylized maple leaf behind the athlete. A vibrant, highly saturated red rendering confirms the lower-mintage colourized variant (3,000,000 per design). Authentic RCM pad printing shows a fine dot-matrix texture under 10× magnification. Dense or glossy-looking ink is a sign of an aftermarket forgery — do not pay a premium for an altered coin.
Step 4 — Variety Check (Colourized Men's Hockey only): Using a 10× magnifying loupe, locate the final "2" in the date "2002" where it overlaps the hockey player's leg. If the "2" is concave (pressed into the leg surface) = standard Incuse 2 (Ch# RC-671, common).If the "2" protrudes outward in relief above the leg = Raised 2 (rare, premium variety). See the variants section for value impact.
Step 5 — Magnet Test (Composition Verification):
The magnet test: a standard 2009 Canadian quarter (multi-ply plated steel, 4.40 g) sticks strongly to a magnet. A coin that does not respond is either a sterling silver Proof collector issue (approx. 27.78 g, non-magnetic) or warrants immediate investigation — verify weight with a precision scale.
Hold a magnet to the coin. All standard 2009 quarters are strongly ferromagnetic due to the steel core. A non-responding coin is either a silver Proof (expected weight: ~27.78 g) or warrants further investigation. Always confirm composition with a precise digital scale — the mandated weight for all standard MPPS issues is exactly 4.40 grams.
Step 6 — Finish Identification (Critical for Accurate Valuation):
Three-way finish comparison for 2009 Canadian quarters: Business Strike (left) showing uniform cartwheel luster across fields and devices; Proof-Like (centre) with deeply mirror-polished fields contrasted against lightly frosted devices; Specimen (right) displaying matte or finely lined parallel field texture with deeply frosted brilliant devices. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
- Business Strike (MS): Uniform frosty metallic cartwheel luster across fields and devices. Frequently exhibits rim nicks, bag marks, and transit chatter from hopper ejection. Intended for commerce.
- Proof-Like (PL): Distributed in flat, multi-compartment cellophane pliofilm packs. Mirror-polished fields contrast with lightly frosted raised devices. A "shiny" 2009 quarter found loose is almost certainly a PL coin — not a rare high-grade business strike.
- Specimen (SP): From book-like presentation cases. Distinctive matte or finely lined parallel texture runs across the fields; deeply frosted, brilliant devices contrast sharply. Squared rim edges are more pronounced than on business strikes.
- Proof (PR): Velvet or leather case only. Flawless black-mirror fields with stark-white, heavily sandblasted cameo devices. Silver Proof issues only for most designs — non-magnetic and significantly heavier than standard strikes (~27.78 g).
⚠️ Colourization Forgery Risk
Genuine RCM pad printing on colourized Golden Moments coins exhibits a fine dot-matrix texture under 10× magnification. Aftermarket forgeries using nail polish or hobby enamel appear dense and glossy. Any attempt to "touch up" chipped paint on a genuine colourized coin also destroys all numismatic value. Always authenticate with a loupe before paying a colourized premium.
2009 Canadian Quarter Value FAQs
What is a 2009 Canadian quarter worth?
Any 2009 Canadian quarter showing wear from circulation is worth exactly $0.25 — its face value — regardless of design. In Brilliant Uncirculated (MS60–62) condition, standard Olympic and Caribou designs are worth $0.50–$0.75, while colourized Golden Moments variants reach $1.00–$1.95. In Gem Uncirculated (MS65), standard designs range from $16.60–$18.50 and colourized Golden Moments reach $31.20–$33.60. Top-pop certified Caribou examples (MS67) have realized ~$116–$130.
Are 2009 Canadian quarters rare?
As a group, no — the Caribou alone had a mintage of 266,766,000, and even the Olympic sports designs reached 22,400,000 each. However, specific sub-types are meaningfully scarcer: each colourized Golden Moments design was limited to 3,000,000 coins versus 19,000,000 for the plain-metal counterparts. The documented "Raised 2" die variety on the colourized Men's Hockey quarter carries a significantly lower survival rate in high MS grades. True rarity in this series is entirely grade- and variant-driven, not date-driven.
What makes a 2009 Canadian quarter valuable?
Three factors drive value above face: (1) Grade — the steel planchet causes nearly universal bag-marking during production, making MS65+ examples genuinely scarce. A single microscopic scratch can eliminate 80–90% of a coin's value. (2) Design and colour variant — colourized Golden Moments coins (3 million each) command approximately double the price of their plain-metal counterparts (19 million each) in lower MS grades, with the premium growing at gem levels due to the fragility of the red pad-printing. (3) Die variety — the Raised 2 on the colourized Men's Hockey quarter more than doubles the MS65 baseline from $33.60 to $56.00 and reaches $118.00 at MS66.
Is a 2009 Canadian quarter silver or magnetic?
All standard 2009 Canadian quarters — business strikes, colourized variants, and base-metal collector issues — are multi-ply plated steel (MPPS) and are strongly magnetic. They contain no precious metal, and the face value of $0.25 is the intrinsic floor. The Royal Canadian Mint did produce sterling silver (.925) Proof versions of select 2009 designs for premium collector sets; those weigh approximately 27.78 grams and are non-magnetic — easily distinguished from the standard 4.40-gram coins.
What is the difference between the colourized and non-colourized Golden Moments quarters?
The three Golden Moments designs (Men's Ice Hockey, Women's Ice Hockey, and Cindy Klassen) were each released in two versions: a plain metal business strike (19,000,000 per design) and a colourized version with a vivid red pad-printed maple leaf behind the athlete (3,000,000 per design). Both were distributed in general circulation. The colourized variants command roughly double the premium in lower MS grades due to the lower mintage and the difficulty of finding examples where the red ink remains fully intact. Authentic RCM pad printing shows a fine dot-matrix texture under 10× magnification — dense or glossy ink is a sign of an aftermarket alteration.
What is the Raised 2 variety on the 2009 Men's Hockey quarter?
During the production of the colourized Men's Ice Hockey Golden Moments quarter, a variation emerged in the working dies affecting how the commemorative date "2002" sits against the hockey player's leg. On the standard Incuse 2 (Charlton RC-671), the final "2" is concave — pressed into the surface of the player's leg. On the rarer Raised 2, the final "2" protrudes in raised relief above the leg contour, visible under a 10× loupe. The Raised 2 results from a shorter-lived die state and has a significantly lower survival rate in high MS grades, reaching $56.00 at MS65 (versus $33.60 for the standard Incuse 2) and $118.00 at MS66. This variety applies only to the colourized version.
What is the difference between a Business Strike, a Proof-Like, and a Specimen finish?
A Business Strike (MS) is produced for commercial circulation under standard pressing conditions; it displays uniform frosty cartwheel luster and typically exhibits bag marks from bulk transit. A Proof-Like (PL) coin is struck from specially prepared dies and distributed in flat cellophane pliofilm sets; it has mirror-polished fields contrasted with lightly frosted raised devices. A Specimen (SP) is produced under maximum pressure for presentation cases; it features a distinctive matte or finely lined field texture with deeply frosted devices and precisely squared rims. These finishes are evaluated on completely separate population curves — never compare PL or SP prices directly to MS business strike values.
Should I get my 2009 Canadian quarter graded?
Grading only makes financial sense if your coin can plausibly achieve MS65 or higher — or if you believe you have the colourized Men's Hockey Raised 2 variety in pristine condition. For any coin with visible wear, field scratches, or obvious bag marks (MS60–MS64 range), third-party grading fees from ICCS, PCGS, or NGC will exceed the coin's market value. The International Coin Certification Service (ICCS) in Toronto is the traditional benchmark for Canadian coins and applies strict standards to modern plated steel. PCGS and NGC encapsulate coins in hard acrylic slabs favoured by registry set collectors. An MS65+ certification from either service is a prerequisite for the significant premiums shown in the value tables above.
