2019 Canadian 25-Cent (Quarter) Value Guide
What is your 2019 Canadian quarter worth? Complete grade-by-grade price guide in CAD covering Business Strike, BU Sets, Specimen, and Silver Proof. Clarifies the Equality Quarter myth, the W mint mark myth, and rare NCLT variants.
Most 2019 Canadian quarters are worth exactly $0.25 CAD โ face value. A numismatic premium only materializes at MS65 Gem Uncirculated or higher, where values reach $20.00. Top-population certified examples reach $120.00+. All values in CAD.
- Circulated (G4โAU58):$0.25 โ face value only
- Business Strike MS65 (Gem Unc):$20.00
- Business Strike MS67:~$50.00
- Business Strike MS68 (Top Pop):$120.00+
- BU / PL Set Coin (MS65):$10.00
- Specimen (SP, raw breakout):$3.00โ$6.00
- Silver Proof (PR/PF .9999, raw breakout):$15.00โ$30.00
- Silver Proof PR-70 / PF-70 DCAM (certified):~$81.00 CAD
Found in change? Worth $0.25 โ no premium exists below MS65 regardless of how new or shiny the coin looks. Shiny coin from a set? Almost certainly a BU set coin or Specimen worth a modest $3โ$10 raw โ not a rare high-grade Business Strike. Is it silver? No โ standard 2019 circulation quarters are multi-ply plated steel with zero precious metal content; only NCLT collector issues carry a .9999 fine silver planchet and will NOT stick to a magnet. โ ๏ธ Looking for an Equality Quarter? The 2019 Equality commemorative does not exist as a 25-cent coin โ it was struck on the one-dollar Loonie. โ ๏ธ Looking for a Canadian W Quarter? No 2019 Canadian quarter carries a W mint mark โ this is a U.S.-only program. See full value chart โ
The 2019 Canadian 25-cent piece continues the iconic Caribou reverse design by Emanuel Hahn and features the fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt โ the mature, bare-headed Queen introduced across all denominations in 2003. With a confirmed circulation mintage of 80,160,000 units produced at Winnipeg, the 2019 quarter is exceptionally abundant. Collector-quality Specimen and Silver Proof strikes were manufactured separately at the Ottawa facility for premium numismatic sets. For the full historical context of Canadian quarter values across all eras, see our Canadian Quarter Value Guide.
Note: Errors such as off-center strikes and wrong-planchet coins exist for 2019 quarters but are outside the scope of this standard value guide.

2019 Canadian Quarter Composition & Melt Value
The 2019 Caribou quarter belongs to the multi-ply plated steel era of Royal Canadian Mint production. As confirmed by the Royal Canadian Mint's official 25-cent records, the planchet consists of a low-carbon steel core accounting for approximately 94.0% of the coin's 4.40-gram total mass. This steel core is sequentially electroplated with a copper intermediate layer (approximately 3.8%), which serves as a critical bonding agent and provides the specific electromagnetic signature required for commercial vending machine calibration. The outermost layer is composed of pure nickel (approximately 2.2%), delivering the characteristic silver-like appearance, oxidation resistance, and surface hardness needed for decades of commercial use.
Melt Value โ Circulation Issue
Because the standard 2019 circulation quarter contains only base metals โ steel, copper, and nickel โ its intrinsic metal value is entirely negligible relative to its $0.25 CAD face value. The complex multi-ply plating process makes raw-material recovery economically unviable, and melting Canadian legal-tender coinage is legally restricted under the Currency Act of Canada.
โน๏ธ Magnetic Diagnostic โ Quick Authentication Test
A standard 2019 Caribou circulation quarter is strongly ferromagnetic โ it will be firmly and immediately attracted to a permanent magnet. This is the fastest single test to confirm a standard steel-core circulation strike versus an older solid-nickel blank or a rare NCLT silver collector coin. If the coin does not stick, proceed immediately to a precise digital weight check: 4.40g confirms the standard steel planchet; 6.00g or more indicates an NCLT fine silver issue.
NCLT Silver Proof Issues โ Intrinsic Value Exception
Specific Royal Canadian Mint Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) products bear the 25-cent denomination but are struck on .9999 fine silver planchets. The standard NCLT Fine Silver Proof quarter weighs 6.00 grams, equating to approximately 0.1929 troy ounces. The melt formula is:
(Weight in Troy Ounces) ร (Purity) ร (Current Spot Price of Silver) = Intrinsic Melt Value
At an example spot price of $41.50 CAD per troy ounce: 0.1929 oz ร 0.9999 ร $41.50 CAD โ ~$8.00 CAD. This figure fluctuates daily with global silver markets. Specialty NCLT variants such as the Big Coin Series 5-ounce (157.6g) silver Caribou carry a dramatically higher intrinsic baseline. For reference catalog data on NCLT silver variants, see Numista: 25 Cents โ Elizabeth II (Le caribou) NCLT entries.
2019 Canadian Quarter Value Chart by Grade & Finish
Because the 2019 quarter is a modern, high-production coin, numismatic value is strictly concentrated in the extreme upper echelon of the grading scale. The critical threshold for any premium on a Business Strike is MS65 (Gem Uncirculated). Below this grade, regardless of how new or shiny a coin appears, it is worth face value. All prices in CAD as of February 2026.
โ ๏ธ The 2019 "Equality Quarter" Does Not Exist
There is no 2019 Canadian 25-cent Equality coin. The Equality commemorative design was struck exclusively on the one-dollar Loonie denomination. Any listing for a "2019 Equality Quarter" is either a misidentified Loonie or fraudulent โ confirm the denomination on the coin's reverse before any transaction.

The value difference between these two coins is $0.25 vs. $20.00. (Illustration โ not a photo of your exact coin)
2019 Canadian Quarter โ Business Strike (Circulation, Winnipeg)
| Type / Design | Circulated (G4โAU58) | BU / Choice Unc (MS60โMS64) | Gem Unc (MS65) | MS67 | MS68 (Top Pop) | Mintage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Caribou | $0.25 (face value) | $0.25โ$8.00 | $20.00 | ~$50.00 | $120.00+ | 80,160,000 |
The sharp step from $8.00 at MS64 to $20.00 at MS65 defines the modern multi-ply steel coinage market. Steel planchets are exceptionally hard; striking them at speeds exceeding 700 coins per minute rapidly degrades die faces, and coins sustain heavy bag marks when ejected into massive production hoppers. Discovering a pristine MS65 example without distracting contact marks on the Caribou's flank or the Queen's cheek requires extraordinary luck or methodical searching of sealed original bank rolls. Pricing source: Canadian Coins โ 2019 Quarter Values (Feb 2026); trophy grades per PCGS Auction Prices Realized (Feb 2026).
The MS64-to-MS65 value cliff for the 2019 Caribou quarter: value jumps from $8.00 at MS64 to $20.00 at MS65, then accelerates sharply to ~$50.00 at MS67 and $120.00+ at MS68. Steel planchets make bag-mark-free surfaces statistically rare at production volumes exceeding 80 million units. (Illustration โ approximate values only)
โ ๏ธ Never Clean Your Coins
Cleaning a 2019 quarter with a polishing cloth, metal dip, or household solvent produces unnatural parallel hairlines visible under magnification. Third-party graders (ICCS, PCGS, NGC) designate such coins "Cleaned โ Details Grade," reducing numismatic value back to exactly $0.25 regardless of underlying detail. Once cleaned, this damage cannot be reversed.
2019 Canadian Quarter โ Brilliant Uncirculated / Proof-Like Sets (Ottawa)
| Type / Product | BU / Choice Unc (MS60โMS64) | Gem Unc (MS65) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Caribou (BU / PL Set, Ottawa) | $2.00โ$4.00 | $10.00 | Struck at Ottawa with superior handling; from official RCM Uncirculated or special collector sets. Heavy bag marks should be virtually absent. |
โน๏ธ Set Breakout Caution
With large volumes of RCM collector sets produced annually, many have been broken open. A "shiny" 2019 quarter found loose is far more likely a BU set coin or a Specimen than a rare high-grade Business Strike. Dealers routinely discount raw "Uncirculated" examples from this era, assuming PL or Specimen origin โ always apply the finish identification protocol below before bidding.
2019 Canadian Quarter โ Specimen & Silver Proof (Ottawa, Collector Sets)
| Finish | Typical Value (Raw Breakout) | Top Certified | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen (SP) | $3.00โ$6.00 | โ | Matte parallel-lined fields; brilliant raised devices. From RCM Specimen sets. Value is strictly dependent on finding an interested buyer for a raw set-break. |
| Silver Proof (PR/PF, .9999 fine silver) | $15.00โ$30.00 | ~$81.00 CAD (PR-70 / PF-70 UCAM) | .9999 fine silver planchet, 6.00g; from RCM Fine Silver Proof Sets. PR-70 UCAM per Cointown / NGC data (Feb 2026). |
Values shown for Specimen and Silver Proof represent typical secondary-market trading prices for raw, uncertified coins extracted from original RCM packaging. Complete, sealed mint sets command higher overall premiums due to the preservation of the original presentation case and the accompanying denomination set.

Most Valuable 2019 Canadian Quarter Varieties
The 2019 Caribou quarter contains no documented traditional die varieties in Charlton catalogues โ the Royal Canadian Mint's computer-aided design systems and laser-engraved master matrices virtually eliminated the dramatic hub doublings and repunched dates of mid-20th-century production. Extreme value for this issue derives from two distinct sources: conditional rarity (achieving statistical perfection in the grading room) and intentional NCLT scarcity (acquiring strictly limited collector releases). Two persistent market myths โ the Equality Quarter and the Canadian W Quarter โ also require formal demolition here.
A. Trophy-Level Values (Conditional Rarity)
| What | Why It Commands a Premium | Typical Grade Requirement | Documented Value | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 Caribou Business Strike MS-67 / MS-68 | Extreme conditional rarity: multi-ply steel quarters sustain heavy bag marks during production. An MS-68 requires uninterrupted cartwheel luster and zero distracting marks under 5ร magnification โ a statistical near-impossibility from an 80-million-unit production run. | Top-Pop PCGS / NGC MS-67 or MS-68; financial barrier limits submissions to near-certain top-tier candidates only | ~$50.00 (MS-67) / $120.00+ (MS-68 Top Pop) | PCGS Auction Prices Realized (Feb 2026); Canadian Coins pricing |
| 2019 Caribou Silver Proof PR-70 / PF-70 UCAM | A Proof-70 grade on a .9999 silver NCLT coin mandates zero milk spots, no microscopic hairlines in the deeply mirrored fields, and perfect undisturbed frosting on the Caribou and effigy โ an absolute flawless standard. | PR-70 / PF-70 Deep Cameo or Ultra Cameo (NGC or PCGS certified); original RCM acrylic capsule preservation essential | ~$81.00 CAD (~$60.00 USD) | Cointown / NGC Data (Feb 2026) |
B. Rare NCLT Collector Variants (Not Circulation Coins)
These are not coins you will encounter in pocket change. They are premium collector products that occasionally surface on the secondary market when estates, dealer inventories, or private collections are liquidated.
| Variant | How to Identify | Why It Is Rare | Typical Secondary-Market Value | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Optimus Prime 3D Lenticular 25-Cents | Colorized lenticular (3D-shifting image) of Transformers' Optimus Prime on an oversized 36.15mm, 30.76g, .9999 silver planchet โ unmistakably not a standard circulation coin by size, weight, and surface technology alone. | Worldwide mintage of only 3,500 units; massive crossover demand from pop-culture collectors outside traditional numismatics drives competition. | $150.00+ CAD (condition and original packaging dependent) | London Coin Centre (Feb 2026); RCM Archives |
| Big Coin Series 5-Ounce Silver Caribou | Massive 65.25mm diameter, 157.6g (5 troy oz), .9999 fine silver planchet with selective reverse gold plating on the Caribou design. Denomination reads "25 Cents" โ unmistakable by sheer size. | The absolute lowest authorized mintage in the Big Coin series at only 1,250 units worldwide, combined with immense intrinsic silver weight. | $600.00+ CAD (heavily reliant on 5-oz silver spot price plus severe scarcity markup) | J&M Coins (Feb 2026); Numista |
Scale comparison: standard 2019 Caribou circulation quarter (23.88mm, 4.40g) alongside the Optimus Prime Lenticular NCLT (36.15mm, 30.76g, 3,500 worldwide) and the Big Coin Series 5-ounce silver Caribou (65.25mm, 157.6g, 1,250 worldwide). NCLT issues are unmistakable by size, weight, and finish. (Illustration โ not a photo of your exact coin)
C. Myth Busted: The 2019 Equality Quarter Does Not Exist
โ ๏ธ No 2019 Canadian 25-Cent Equality Coin Was Ever Produced
The Equality commemorative design โ celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Decriminalization of Homosexuality in Canada, with artwork by Joe Average โ was struck exclusively on the one-dollar Loonie denomination for commercial circulation and as a $10 NCLT fine silver collectible. Royal Canadian Mint Archives and the Charlton Standard Catalogue confirm zero 25-cent Equality production. The persistent myth arises from historical precedent: the Mint frequently used the 25-cent denomination for past commemorative programs (e.g., the 1992 Confederation series and 2010 Olympic series). Any secondary-market listing for a "2019 Equality Quarter" is either a misidentified Loonie or a fraudulent item. Always confirm the denomination legend printed on the coin's reverse before any transaction.
D. Myth Busted: No 2019 Canadian Quarter Bears a W Mint Mark
โ ๏ธ No 2019 Canadian "W" Quarter Exists โ Do Not Confuse With U.S. Program
In 2019, the U.S. Mint released circulating America the Beautiful quarters bearing the "W" (West Point) mint mark as part of the Great American Coin Hunt promotion โ a genuinely valuable program where these coins routinely sell for $15โ$50 CAD in low grades and command higher amounts in Mint State. See Canadian Coin News: U.S. Actor Finds Valuable 2019-W Quarter and PCGS: 2019-W Quarters โ A Modern Find for context. The Royal Canadian Mint ran no parallel program. The RCM did not add a "W" (Winnipeg) mint mark to any 25-cent collector edition until the 2024 Tribute Silver Series โ see the RCM's 2024 "W" Mint Mark Tribute Quarter for that first official use. There is no known 2019 Canadian circulating quarter with any mint mark. Searching for a "valuable 2019 W Canadian Quarter" is a fruitless endeavor born entirely from reading American numismatic headlines.
Left: genuine U.S. 2019-W America the Beautiful quarter with the West Point "W" mint mark โ a legitimately valuable find from the Great American Coin Hunt. Right: the 2019 Canadian Caribou quarter with no mint mark whatsoever โ no Canadian W-quarter program existed in 2019. (Illustration โ not a photo of your exact coin)
2019 Canadian Quarter Identification Guide
The following 30-second diagnostic checklist helps you determine exactly what you have โ and whether it carries any numismatic premium above face value.
30-Second Diagnostic Checklist
- Monarch / Obverse Check: The obverse should show Queen Elizabeth II facing right in the mature, bare-headed portrait by Susanna Blunt โ the fourth portrait, used on all Canadian denominations from 2003 through 2022. There is no crown or tiara. The Royal Canadian Mint privy mark appears directly beneath the truncation of the bust.
- Reverse Design Check: Confirm the Emanuel Hahn Caribou design, flanked by "25 CENTS" and the date "2019." If the reverse features a dual-face Equality design or any other commemorative artwork, check the denomination immediately โ these are Loonies (one dollar) or Toonies (two dollars), not quarters. See Numista: 2019 Canadian 25 Cents catalog entry for detailed reference imagery.
- Edge Check: The rim should be heavily reeded (milled) with uniform ridges running continuously around the entire circumference.
- Colorization Check: Standard 2019 circulation quarters carry no applied enamel color or lenticular technology. A colorized coin is an NCLT collector product, not a circulation issue, and requires separate valuation.
- Magnet Test โ Critical Base-Metal Diagnostic:
- Apply a strong permanent magnet to the coin.
- A standard steel-core circulation quarter will be strongly and immediately attracted โ it is firmly ferromagnetic.
- If the coin does not stick to the magnet: you may have a rare NCLT .9999 fine silver issue (silver is diamagnetic), an extraordinary wrong-planchet error (an older solid-nickel blank, which is only weakly magnetic), or a counterfeit. Confirm with a precise digital scale: steel circulation quarter = 4.40g; standard NCLT silver proof = 6.00g or more.
- Mint Mark Check: There are no mint marks on standard 2019 Canadian 25-cent coins โ not from Winnipeg, not from Ottawa. No documented "W" mark exists on any 2019 Canadian quarter. Standard for Canadian circulation coins of this era.
- Finish Identification โ The Critical Valuation Step:
- Business Strike (Circulation): Standard cartwheel luster that radiates outward from the center when tilted under a single light source. Nearly always exhibits "bag marks" โ tiny sharp nicks and scratches on fields and devices from coin-on-coin collision in production hoppers at Winnipeg.
- Numismatic BU / Proof-Like (PL): Uniformly brilliant, highly reflective surface across both background fields and raised devices, with virtually no bag marks due to careful automated handling at the Ottawa facility. Struck for inclusion in official RCM Uncirculated and special sets.
- Specimen (SP): A uniquely RCM finish โ background fields display a distinctive matte, parallel-lined texture that scatters light directionally, while the raised devices (Caribou and effigy) are highly polished and brilliant. The matte field is the definitive diagnostic for a Specimen coin.
- Proof (PR/PF): The visual inverse of a Specimen. Background fields are deeply mirrored, appearing as black liquid when angled away from a light source. Raised devices carry heavy frost for intense cameo contrast. These are always struck on .9999 fine silver planchets for NCLT sets, distributed in protective acrylic capsules within velvet or leather RCM presentation cases.
- Condition Assessment: Examine the Caribou's cheekbone, mid-antler, and shoulder โ the highest points and the first to lose detail. Any flatness or dullness on these points confirms a circulated coin worth $0.25.
Four 2019 Canadian quarter finishes compared side by side: Business Strike (cartwheel luster, visible bag marks), BU/Proof-Like (uniformly reflective, minimal marks), Specimen (matte parallel-lined fields, brilliant raised devices), and Silver Proof (deeply mirrored fields, frosted devices with cameo contrast). (Illustration โ not a photo of your exact coin)
Magnetic diagnostic: a standard 2019 Caribou steel-core quarter clings firmly to a permanent magnet (left). If a 2019 quarter does NOT stick, verify with a precise scale: 4.40g = standard steel; 6.00g or more = NCLT fine silver. (Illustration โ not a photo of your exact coin)
2019 Canadian Quarter Value FAQs
What is a 2019 Canadian quarter worth?
Most 2019 Caribou quarters are worth exactly $0.25 CAD โ face value. A numismatic premium only materializes at MS65 Gem Uncirculated ($20.00) or higher. At MS67, certified examples reach ~$50.00, and a top-population MS68 commands $120.00+. Collector-finish raw breakouts trade for $3.00โ$6.00 (Specimen) and $15.00โ$30.00 (Silver Proof).
Is a 2019 Canadian quarter rare?
No โ with a circulation mintage of 80,160,000 units, the 2019 Caribou quarter is extremely common in all circulated grades. Rarity for this issue is purely conditional: a certified MS68 is genuinely rare due to the bag-marking mechanics of multi-ply steel production, but the underlying coin is not scarce. NCLT silver collector variants โ the Optimus Prime Lenticular (3,500 worldwide) and the Big Coin 5-ounce (1,250 worldwide) โ are legitimately rare numismatic pieces.
What makes a 2019 Canadian quarter valuable?
Three factors drive value above face: (1) Grade โ MS65 Gem Uncirculated is the minimum threshold for any business-strike premium; (2) Finish โ Specimen and Silver Proof coins from official RCM sets carry inherent premiums; and (3) NCLT scarcity โ extremely low-mintage collector releases command significant premiums driven by both intrinsic silver content and collector demand. No traditional die varieties are documented for 2019.
Is my 2019 Canadian quarter silver?
No โ standard 2019 circulation quarters are multi-ply plated steel (94% steel, 3.8% copper, 2.2% nickel) with no precious metal content whatsoever. They are strongly magnetic. Only specific NCLT collector issues struck at Ottawa are composed of .9999 fine silver โ these weigh 6.00 grams or more and will not stick to a magnet. Use the weight test to confirm: 4.40g confirms the standard steel planchet; 6.00g+ indicates a silver NCLT coin.
Is there a 2019 Canadian Equality Quarter?
No โ this coin does not exist. The Equality commemorative design (50th Anniversary of the Decriminalization of Homosexuality in Canada, artwork by Joe Average) was produced on the one-dollar Loonie denomination for circulation and as a $10 NCLT fine silver coin. The Royal Canadian Mint Archives and Charlton Standard Catalogue confirm zero 25-cent Equality production. Any listing claiming to offer a "2019 Equality Quarter" is either a misidentified Loonie or fraudulent โ always confirm the denomination legend on the coin's reverse before any purchase.
Is there a 2019 Canadian quarter with a W mint mark?
No โ there is no 2019 Canadian quarter bearing a W mint mark. This confusion arises directly from the United States Mint's 2019 program placing W (West Point) mint marks on circulating America the Beautiful quarters. The Royal Canadian Mint did not run a parallel program and did not introduce a Winnipeg "W" mark to any 25-cent collector edition until the 2024 Tribute Silver Series. Searching for a "valuable 2019 W Canadian Quarter" will be fruitless.
What is the difference between a Specimen (SP) and a Proof-Like (PL/BU) 2019 quarter?
Both are collector-quality Ottawa strikes, but their visual characteristics are distinctly different. A Proof-Like / BU set coin has uniformly brilliant, highly reflective surfaces across both fields and raised devices, with minimal bag marks from careful automated handling. A Specimen (SP) coin features the unique RCM Specimen finish: background fields are treated to show a distinctive matte, parallel-lined texture that scatters light directionally, while the raised Caribou and Queen's portrait are highly polished and brilliant โ the contrast between matte field and brilliant device is the defining visual signature. A Proof (PR/PF) coin, by contrast, has deeply mirrored black fields and heavily frosted devices โ the visual inverse of a Specimen โ and is struck exclusively on .9999 fine silver planchets.
Should I get my 2019 Canadian quarter graded?
Only if you are highly confident the coin will achieve MS65 or better. The cost of professional certification at ICCS, PCGS, or NGC typically exceeds the numismatic value of a 2019 quarter at any grade below MS65 โ meaning grading fees outrun the coin's market value. If you believe a business strike is MS65 or above, certification becomes economically justified. For Silver Proof coins targeting PR-70 or PF-70 UCAM status, the economics are more favorable given higher underlying values. ICCS applies strict traditional grading standards and is highly respected in the domestic Canadian market; PCGS and NGC-graded Canadian coins sometimes command higher global premiums due to their competitive online Registry Sets.
What is the CLT vs. NCLT distinction, and why does it matter for 2019 quarters?
CLT (Circulating Legal Tender) describes the 80,160,000 standard Caribou quarters produced for everyday commercial use. NCLT (Non-Circulating Legal Tender) describes premium collector products โ such as the Fine Silver Proof Set quarter, the Optimus Prime lenticular coin, and the Big Coin 5-ounce silver Caribou โ that carry a nominal 25-cent face value but are never intended for commerce. NCLT coins have intrinsic silver values and numismatic premiums far exceeding their struck face value. Canadian domestic banks are not obligated to accept NCLT deposits at face value, and standard merchants will reject them. They exist purely within the numismatic collector ecosystem.
