<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4564165, member: 84179&quot;]Avery, you need to do a little research.&nbsp; As I said in a previous post, the 1970-S PROOF quarter that was struck over a 1941 Canadian quarter is on a silver planchet, not a clad planchet used for proof quarters.&nbsp; A clandestine mint employee put a 1941 Canadian quarter into the press, struck in with a proof die, and smuggled it out of the mint.&nbsp; There were a number of Spectacular proof errors that came from the San Francisco mint in the early 70s including 2 proof quarters struck on Barber Quarters (one was dated 1900).</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1941 Canadian overstrike and a number of others were found in a safety deposit box.&nbsp; I&#039;m not positive, but I recall reading that the box may have been seized as assets from a drug bust.&nbsp; The Secret Service evaluated the errors and allowed the State of CA to proceed with the auction (I also believe that Fred Weinberg attended the auction).&nbsp; There were a number of articles in the numismatic periodicals and if you read them, you&#039;ll see that the overwhelming opinion is that these errors &quot;had help&quot; being made and leaving the mint.&nbsp; <u>None were circulation finds</u>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, think about your coin.&nbsp; It is struck on a clad quarter planchet.&nbsp; The absolute first thing you need to do is explain how the 1941 undertype coin was minted on a clad planchet.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t exist in 1941.&nbsp; I&#039;ll say it again in case you missed it.&nbsp; Clad planchets didn&#039;t exist in 1941.&nbsp; Don&#039;t even bother making comments like &quot;it looks like a 1941&quot; or &quot;undiscovered errors are out there&quot; to justify your conclusion.&nbsp; Your ignoring the 600 lb gorilla in the room, HOW COULD THE ORIGINAL 1941 UNDERTYPE COIN BE STRUCK ON A CLAD PLANCHET?</p><p><br /></p><p>You recently posted some nice errors recently.&nbsp; Nice finds and you knew what they were.&nbsp; it&#039;s time to stop claiming that you found the equivalent of Bigfoot in your garage and arguing when people don&#039;t believe you[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
