JMart Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 7:13 pm Is this error acknowledged by everyone in the coin business or just certain companies as in grading it as well as the want for this type of error. Hopefully that makes sense but just pretty curious about it. Report this Post to the Staff

jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 7:34 pm I believe there is only one known. I believe it would fall under mint employee assisted error. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21614 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 7:50 pm Your correct jasper62. It was a mint employee assisted coin. As far as I know, there was only one produced. When it was first discovered, there was rush to find more and people with insisting that they had one. (Use the search forum for more info) Problem was the Canadian quarter is silver and the 1970 US quarter is clad so it is easy to tell that they did not have one. Quote: Is there a market for this type of error if to come across one like it Probably would be except their isn't another one. Edited by JimmyD 07/01/2021 7:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/01/2021 9:05 pm As two mints were involved, it would have to be a mint employee assisted error. I'd love it see it. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/02/2021 01:35 am The 1970-S US quarter struck on a 1941 Canadian quarter is for sale on Mike Byers web page for $35,000. https://mikebyers.com/1949701-013.html It's certified by NGC as PF-65. The chances of finding another are close to impossible. It was part of a hoard of "Employee Assisted" errors from the San Francisco mint. Someone made some really strange combos of coins on coins, coins on tokens, etc. When they were found they sold for big bucks, but it's thought that no other coins like this exist. This kind of error also draws the interest of the Secret Service, in that they may be subject to seizure as illegal to own, because they are "the fruits and instrumentalities of crime" and are the property of the government and should never have left the mint. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
