<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 25949607, member: 78298&quot;]There are no circulated quarters that were stuck over a silver 1941 Canadian planchet. As for the proof 1970-S, again I believe it happened intentionally.</p><p>No one is going to create a coin like this worth a lot of money and then put it in circulation for someone to find.</p><p>Now the mint did used to make coins for other countries (and I don&#039;t think Canada)</p><p>and if they did accidentally use another countries planchet, it would be blank, not a coin that was already minted 30 years earlier. All of the other countries coins have a different size and weight than US coins. The exceptions being Panama and the Bahamas which were 1-1 with the USD. And even those have made some changes.</p><p>The reason is not to have coins with less value be the same size and weight as US coins which could be used in tolls, vending machines etc.</p><p>The clad US quarter weighs 5.67g and the 80% silver Canadian quarter weighs 5.83.</p><p>Besides there is only 1 known coin of this type and like I said it was done intentionally. Technically it is an illegal coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
