    I have what I believe to be a 1970 quarter over the 1941 Canadian quarter..... Thank you in advance for any replies and knowledge that again from this.... But if in fact it is said quarter how do I go about getting it graded and or selling it things of that nature.... I am absolutely 100% new to every bit of this again thank you in advance.... I will attach some pictures of the coin.

    Hello. Where did you get this Info. from?
    What does it weigh? Looks like a normal Quarter.

    Why do you think this is struck on a Canadian quarter, let alone the specific date 1941? I see nothing unusual on either side. I suspect pareidolia. The 1970 is clad and the Canadian quarter would be silver, so one look at the edge would tell you. The Canadian quarter is also almost a mm smaller in diameter.

    The 1970 S proof quarter struck on a 1941 Canadian Quarter is a one off, manipulated "error". There is no reason to believe there is another one, and even if the same person made more than one, they would be S mintmarked proof coins. Highly unlikely that two people at two different mints, thousands of miles apart had the same idea, the same year and just happened to use the same date Canadian quarter. Just look at the edge as stated and you will see it is a normal clad quarter.

    I know it's a normal clad quarter. I just wish you could look at it with ur eyes n not a picture. N there is only one known to exist, but u can't tell me that person didn't do something like that more than just once. I'll just put it to the side n maybe one day I'll run into a chance to send it in ur something.

    A 1941 Canadian quarter would be silver, not clad. How could a 1941 Canadian quarter be struck on a planchet that wouldn't exist for another 24 years?

    Then you know that it cannot be struck on any Canadian quarter made prior to 1968. Again, why do you think this was struck on a Canadian quarter? Because you saw a legitimate one on one of those "get rich" videos and so this must be one too? There are others that were just double struck, but nothing is evident in your images.

    But I do also have 2 other quarters without the reeds around the coin. As far as I can tell, it's the normal clad quarter but without the grooved edge. One is a 1986 n the other is a 1972.....how would I go about selling it getting it certified.....thanks again

    Just damaged, often called "dryer coins" because getting caught in a commercial dryer is a common way this happens.

    This is all very confusing. The original post was both sides of a US quarter. Where did the Canada come into it? On both sets of photos it's George and the American eagle.

    The OP thinks it's one of these. Overstruck on a Canada quarter. There are multiple other examples of mint sport that year - 1970-S 25c struck on an 1898 $5 gold, struck on a Philippines 25 centavos, etc.

    Well, we, up here in Canada, don't want that and I'm a retired US vet.

    No not because I seen any video. But because I can see it on the coin. So maybe instead of being rude n talking to someone like that, try asking n not talking rudely.....

    Well, the problem is that you're not giving anyone anything to go on as far as why you think this is struck on a 1941 Canadian quarter.

    You would have to have a 1970-S proof coin to have accidentally been struck over a 1941 Canadian coin. Which doesn't sound like an accident to me.
    Your coin is a quarter. There are far too many misleading videos on You Tube and Facebook and now everyone thinks they have the 1 in a billion miracle coin.

    That's not at all why I think that. I have actually never seen a video on you tube about this coin. But maybe it's not, but right on thanks for the advice. And to everyone who reads this forum......

    I have answered that. But one more time for ya I guess. Here is why I think it is. Because what I see with my eyes and a magnification device, is not what a picture shows. And because I can see faint lettering on the coin. Call it pareidolia if you must. But again thanks for the comments.....
