It seems to be one of the error quarters that were made over the 1941 Canadian quarter. It is very hard to see the faint numbers 1941 right above the word "dollar" as I've read about. How much would this quarter be worth? Now I don't know how the grading would go but it has a lot of the details visible, it looks pretty much new except for the scratches it got due to it being a circulated coin.

Sorry but the coin you refer to is a one-of-a-kind "assisted" error, meaning that it was created by a mint worker intentionally(and illegally) overstriking a 1941 Canadian quarter, a quarter that should never have been in the San Franciso Mint. That one stupid article did a huge disservice to the numismatic world because now everyone with a 1970 quarter thinks they have this coin  |

Even if the mint worker made more than one of these, they never went into circulation. They went straight to a dealer. Why else would a mint worker take such a risk?
And if there is a second or even a third one of these 'errors', they won't be 'found' for years and they won't be found in circulation.
No harm in asking about it, Angelarvc1. It's the only sure-fire way to find out.

Angelarvc1,In order for these very knowledgeable folks on this site to help you fully, you need to post pictures of your coins with your question.  Edited by oldmike

Sketchy circumstances for sure: proof set found in an unclaimed safe deposit box, coins deemed legit by the secret service, made their hands into a coin dealer who bid on the entire lot at auction. Even NCG, who authenticated it, has no clue how it happened. As biokemist said, "assisted error." Because, logically speaking, how does a 1941 Canadian quarter end up in a US Mint. And not just anywhere in any US Mint, but the proof production line (where planchets are more carefully prepared) in San Francisco. Is someone sitting there throwing Canadian quarters into the machine? Who's going to say, "Well maybe the mint made Canadian coinage?" My response would be, "And a completed coin made its way back into a planchet bin somehow, and got stuck in a chute for TWENTY-NINE YEARS?" (Less plausible because it's the proof production line.) Oh. And the US didn't mint Canadian coinage. Reference: http://www.pdxcoinclub.org/articles...%20table.pdf |

My apologies, Ace. The chart was not searchable. That document has Philly making something for Canada out of nickel in 1968. (His date might be wrong if yours is right.) 1968 was the last year of silver dimes for you guys, right?

I accept that there are planchet errors which can occur with the glut of blanks on hand at times, if explicable. But there's a lot of this stuff I have no interest in, like the dime struck on a nail. "Assisted error" is dubiously juxtaposed like these one-off specimens. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-Nickel...AOSwNnRYm538Edited by AES
