The copper plating has. Even removed. A fairly simple process as we see lots of them.

 

You don't. But feel free to post away. Everyone here is more than willing to help...if you are willing to listen.
There are several people here who know quite a bit about UK coins as well.

 

ok I tried to take good pix.

 

Nope. not it.

The 1970-S quarter that was struck on a 1941 silver (80%) Canadian planchet, was a proof coin. There is only 1 of them.
How could a 1941 Canadian quarter find it's way into the proof minting process? It had to be introduced by a mint worker, it was not an accident.
You Tube videos make it seem like there are many more of these coins.
How did all those 1941 Canadian quarters find their way into the mint in San Francisco in 1970 and were accidentally struck? If you think about it, etc.

 

IDK I wish I had a better camera.

 

You don't need a better camera. You have a 1970D quarter. The quarter that was struck on a 1941 Canadian was a 1970S. That's all you need right there. End of story. Move on.

 

Does anyone know anything about these?

 

?

 

If the steel penny is what you think it is, thats all great BUT there is still not a logical reason in any reality as to "WHY" someone would do that. If you had a steel 44 why would anyone go through trouble of making it a 43 and basically ruining something worth thousands? I only want to hear the theory as to why it would be done in the first place.

 

where they minted them. instead of melting all the errors. they decided to scratch them out and restrike them

 

Is it November fool's day ???

 

look at this.

 

I am your November's fool but remember I show you all the coin first! When you see it in the future then you will the fool!

 

I wish you all the best.

 

thanx i wont need it

 

I can see a dozen mint workers scratching out the old date and then restrike them rather than melting down the scrapped and damaged coins. Melting damaged mint product within the mint is the established method, although certainly some workers illegally pocketed a few in history. Sir, I saw people giving very good responses, and if you really wish to learn about coins , read and discuss, and get ides from others , Best of wishes , jim

 

Is the camera you do have, in your hand when taking the photo or is it on a stable surface or tripod?

Stability + Lighting + Angle + Coin not behind plastic = a fine enough photo

The majority of your photos... I would be too embarrassed to share.

 

Yup, they are blurry
