So, a few weeks ago I was at the laundromat with my roommate, and after we got change I told him "I'll buy/swap all of the quarters with eagles- the older ones you know", as I've recently started my numismatic journey. It's highly addictive, wow. But anyways, I was just saying to him About the 1970 quarter of a Canadian Quarter from 1941. Lo and behold, he just so happened to have one from the change he had just gotten. Immediately I noticed something was different about the coin, and Getting right to the point- I believe this is a 1970 quarter put on 1941 Canadian quarter, just as the only one discovered so far, the only thing is this 1 is not an S mint mark it's A 'D', therefore I believe there are more of these out there. But look at these pictures please, and and any feedback at all would be great! This is my 1st post on here and I hope to you gain some valuable insight on this matter from this form.The pictures are not in any way shape or form modified and y6 tū     Edited by Bsower1023

We  you! We would also like to see what the obverse looks like so we can compare it to the reverse you have posted. Another idea is to look at a Canadian quarter from that time period to see if any of the devices match on the 1970. Then if you are confident that you have a match, you could send it in to one of the major TPG's (third party graders PCGS, NGC, anacs) and get it official. |

Just a normal 1970 US quarter. You can see the reeded edge and it's a clad coin.

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.
