Found a 1970(D) qtr with the 1941 canadian qtr misprint!!

Hello I’m new to the site but not new to coin hunting Iv been doing it half my life as my father did but I had not been doing it for the last 5-6 year, so I know enough that if I see something unusual then it usually is .. I saw a coin on one of y’alls forums about the 1970S proof quarter that has the 1941 Canadian quarter on it also, and this may seem impossible but I’m here to tell you it is not because I have one.. I had threw it in what I call possible missing clad pile so I had actually had it for near a month before looking at it so one day I noticed a a shiny reflection in front of the beak and what Iv found is unexplainable other then maybe when the proof one was made they/whoever made it made this one also.. no one knows why the 1941 was even there so in that case no one knows who made what in that situation, am I correct? Feel free to school me as I am rusty but confident seeing how it on the obverse and reverse...!! I'm posting what I wrote until I figure out how to upload the image to the thread because it freezes soon as it starts to load and throws a error..

well, if so, I see nothing but a circulated quarter

 

All I see as well is a circulated coin but pics might help but doubtful. JMO

I also see just a circulated quarter. Can't even tell what the MM is. Take pictures directly above the coin. Also, make sure they are in focus. Blurry pictures don't help anyone.

 

Yours is a D mint.
There's only one of the famous 1970-S quarter minted on a 1941 Canadian quarter.
Created by some mischief maker at the mint. It wasn't as if a whole box of Canadian quarters fell into the bin of 1970-S proof planchets.

 

Welcome to CT. We have fun here.
It's tough to see what you are seeing. Could you post better images? That's going to get you better answers. I don't think the coin posted is a proof.

That’s what I said in the first post was it’s a D mint and those views r under a round magnifier to pinpoint certain areas... do you guys not see the antler which is the lines on each side of the eagles head?? Iv got way better ones I’m just not good yet at how to upload the pics.. I am aware that the famous coin was an S mint but all edited aside this Ds reverse has the dear head, and u can see most of the man head and on the obverse u can see the bottom of the man’s neck, the words around it and and little places here and there of the obverse... only 194 shows on the date.. like I said before Iv been doing this around 20 year so I’m not new to coin hunting.. I’m going to be sending it to be graded in just a bit so I can’t wait to see what they say..

 

The famous error, 1 known is a 1970-S. If yours is a D it's really not possible,
that 2 different mint workers in 1970 in San Francisco and in Denver put a 1941 Canadian quarter into the machine.
Going back to the real one, I guess it's possible that it was an "accident" and fell out of his hands or pocket someway, but it seems as if this was produced intentionally.

Circulation wear and Environmental Damage to your Quarter. Not a Mint Error.

 

HEY! COOL! Now that you mention it.... no.

 

Since you seem pretty confident in your claim, I’m assuming that you’ve already accurately weighed the coin and determined it weighs the same as a Canadian Quarter.

Not being rude, but your pics are useless in trying to evaluate anything. Remember, you are claiming to have something extraordinary. And extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Are you sure that the environmental damage on the coin might not be causing you to see something that isn’t there? Here is a pic of the 1970-S coin and the Canadian quarter under type is plainly visible.

 

Well, a silver Canadian quarter (from 1941) weighs 5.83 grams and a clad 1970 quarter weighs 5.67 grams. With +/- weight tolerances, I don't think that's the best comparison tool. But you could see if it was silver by the edge color.

 

Yeah but I can’t get a picture to upload which is crazy because the very second I go to show everyone it will not upload I showed it to a small coin shop in Central Kentucky where I live they were very surprised to see it I have way better pics now where everyone can see what it is. And I know it’s not the 1970 qtr with the Canadian 1941 Which is the famous S meant proof I know this: but I’m thinking I have a unknown coin here one of a kind just like that one so maybe whoever done it in the first place made this one also because it’s there if I could get the picture up I could show you guys But until I can figure out why your website just continues to load and not upload my picture I can’t get it on there so I watch the videos and read the thread on how to do it but it’s still not working I have a iPhone 7 Plus anyone want to try to help me with this I myself know what I have I just want to show someone else, the whole world maybe..

 

Did you weigh it??? I know @Michael K pointed out that there could be overlap with the tolerances but generally, most coins are pretty close to the spec. This won't be 100% proof, but it will be a strong indication.

I am trying to be helpful, but the it's incredibly unlikely you have what you claim. Add the fact the coin has suffered environmental damage, which can cause the appearance of all kinds of visual anomalies, and I have to agree with the Early English monk and philosopher, William of Ockham. He said (to paraphrase) that the simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation. So do you have something that went through an almost improbable series of events to get to you, or is it just an artifact from the environmental damage (search the CT archives for the wide array of Environmentally damaged coins posted here)
