Well it all depends upon what you call "circulated."

I think that this coin was someone's pocket piece for a long time. In a way that is circulation, but I don't think that it was spent time and time again to look like this. One does see 1875-S and sometimes 1875-CC twenty cent pieces in Good fairly often. They are not rare, and you should not use the population reports as a guide for that. Low grade twenty cent pieces are not worth slabbing, unless you are going for a "poorest known" collection.

yeah, i wouldn't be into slabbing something like that. could have been
a pocket piece. mixed in with several other coins, unknown history on it. into the silver
pile it goes.

That's a cool pile of coins.

Reminds me of the dish my Mom had that I saw when I was about 8. I looked thorugh all of the coins, and the coolest one to me was an 1891 Seated Dime. I still have it.
