What do you mean?
Are you asking if all US 1970 proof quarters used 1941 Canadian quarters as planchets?
The 1941 Canadian 25 cents is 80% silver and the 1970 US quarter (proof & circulation) is CuNi clad.
So, no.

Only one 1970-s proof quarter has been found that was minted over a 1941 Canadian quarter. It is extremely likely that this was a "mint employee assisted" error, meaning a mint employee brought in a 1941 Canadian quarter, placed it in the press for the 1970-s, and struck it. How it then left the mint, I can only guess that it was smuggled out. It seems unlikely they would do make one and then put it in a proof set for someone else to find.
So yes, it did happen, but it is most likely a one time occurrence. I doubt the employee brought in a whole roll of Canadian quarters to do this, so it is extremely unlikely and probably impossible for another one of these to ever turn up.

Seems a lot of these one of a kind things end up with the same guy, make what you want of that. |
