What are you seeing? That George V coin is silver and was minted until 1936

A pic of the coin edge would help for an opinion.

The quarter just looks dirty, or maybe was a metal detector find with environmental toning.
Rest in Peace

If that's a quarter with two heads then it's a fake error or a Magician's coin.

Washington quarters had dates on the obverse through 1998. I believe the Canadian quarter is older.

Look for a seam around the rim or on the edge.

I see a picture of a Canadian quarter pulled from somewhere & a picture of your quarter. It's a little to soon for April fools

What does it weigh? If the Washington quarter was struck on the wrong planchet the weight will be off.



Also, as Dennman posted, a pic of the rim would be very helpful.

What leads you to believe it's a Canadian stock?

The weight is 5.8 grams. Here are better pictures. Look between the letter S and O at the top of head. That's the tip of the crown.

Okay, I now see what you're seeing.

I believe it is just a well placed hit or tiny die gouge.

The Canadian quarter was struck on a silver planchet and your coin is nickel over copper - as can be seen from the edge (thanks for that pic).

Hope that helps.
