Yes, the clad look on the reeded edge suggests a legit, common quarter.

Yup, your coin is clad.
There are no clad Canadian quarters.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

to the CCF A 1941 Canadian Quarter is silver. Is yours silver? If not then it can't be a Canadian Quarter. |

A Bit of knowledge of minting processes would really help here .
Gets really frustrating seeing these impossible
" king of wishful thinking " posts .
Buy a Numismatic reference book and get some basic
Knowledge is best advice .

1970 canadian quarter was 100% nickel. See that brown edge on the quarter in the picture? That's not nickel, that's copper. and that copper core means it's clad, not nickel, and not .800 silver composition of 1941. as far as the story on the coin, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/1...ebay-canada/yeah, it's a semi true story, but it was likely from a San Francisco mint workers private stash of "messing with around with the machines". you won't simply find something like that in circulation. A canada coin has no business in the u.s. mint to begin with, canada has it's own mints. |

This is an interesting topic. Something to follow to see where it goes.

It has a clad layer, based on the rim color. So it is a normal 1970 D

Canada do not strike clad coins. What come out and you mention it is the mysteries of the Mints in 60's,70's and 80's, when all kind of errors come out. Your coin it is an normal coin face value.

The quarter shown is a clad American quarter. Canada didn't use clad coins in that era. Like Jimmy said, it's just Pareidolia. |

At the risk of piling on....yes, looks to be a matter of Pareidolia. |

to CCF @ Pippy I agree that what you see in Pareidolia - that '25' on the wing if it were a real strike is in the wrong location (too close to the edge) |
