    No I promise you you Can clearly see the 194 of the date on the reverse you can see the antlers plain and clear the bottom of the nick of the deer is in the Far left of the wing around the outer edge of it.. on mine you can actually see the separated lines in it and on the obverse you can see the man’s neck his back of his head the George riding on the left of the coin very little of the writing that’s on the right side of the coin but you can still tell that’s what it says and on Washington’s face you can far left of the wing around it on man you can actually see the separated lines in it and on the obverse you can see George’s neck, some of the hair features and some of the other features are also on Washington Jaw and head from the Canadian man’s LOL I really have this so if there’s a way I can get this on here I’ll prove you guys something. like I said earlier I have been like Gollum off Lord of the rings packing it around making sure I don’t lose it or that no one gets it lol.. to be honest I have been at it since like when I first posted last night trying to get a photo to upload and I just can’t get it surely no one would think that I would go that long continuing to try over and over wasting my time for nothing right LOL? And it weighs 5.64 btw.. I’m going to try turning my phone off and back on..

    Although it isn't definitive proof, 5.64 gms is a lot closer to the weight of a US quarter than a silver Canadian Quarter. I don't know what the tolerances are for Canadian coins, but I would think being 3.25% light would be pushing a couple standard deviations below nominal and there would not be many Canadian quarter planchets be that weight.

    So, in order for it to be struck on a 1940's Canadian quarter, not only would it have to make through all of the improbably steps at the Denver mint to be struck, but it would also have to be struck on a planchet that was a very low weight by Canadian standards which is also uncommon.

    Extremely uncommon x extremely uncommon = You don't have one

    So far I just see an environmentally damaged quarter.

    The last photo shows part of the edge and I believe I'm detecting a normal clad quarter, not silver. I see nothing but an environmentally damaged, well circulated U.S. quarter, but that's just IMO and I don't have the coin in hand for a good examination as you do.

    Agree with Old Hoopster that most coins fall pretty close to the listed weights.
    And are generally only +/- 1 or 2 HUNDREDTHS of a gram.

    Pictures should be good enough, but I'm not seeing anything. Attached is a pic of a 1940's Canadian Quarter. Can you point out the features you're seeing?

    Also, show a pic of the edge. As others mentioned, if it's on a Canadian coin planchet, there should be no evidence of a clad layer. FWIW: The black encrustation does not look toning that would be found on a silver coin. You said you've been coin shooting for a while. Ever find another silver coin that looks like that?

    Google was singularly unhelpful on "INWYTIS". I knew better than to try "NP".

    At least the enviro damage makes it a CircCam.

    If it's what you think it is, it will have an edge consistent with a .800 silver Canadian quarter.

    If, on the other hand, it is what I and most everyone else here strongly suspect it to be, we will see the different-colored bands of the "sandwich" layers of a modern, copper-nickel clad US quarter.

    Simple as that, unless the environmental damage makes the color of the edge difficult to see, for some reason.
