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

Me too, I've seen them posted a lot on the metal detecting forums, but I've only found the British ones.
I'd love to find a Fugio in any condition! My area wasn't settled until the late 1790's and most of the coinage of the early settlers seems to be...
