Found 1970 D with faint 1941 date reading?

I went searching off side the railroad tracks near my house again early this morning, and I found this unusual looking quarter and I looked online to find anything rare for the 1970 d quarters for the 1941 faint date. It looks to me you can see a 1 and a 9? Not quite too sure but take a look for yourself? The pics might not be great quality but..

By the way it is impossible for this to happen.

Your eyes/mind are playing tricks on you and resolving random nicks and dings into a ghost number.

 

Railroad tracks and coins have a fabulously unproductive relationship with each other.

 

Can't seem to pull up the pics, I'd love to see the coin

 

2 things could of happened

First.. someone took a Clad 1970 quarter and traveled back into time to have just the 1941 date struck onto your coin
Second.. someone took a Silver 1941 quarter and traveled into the future to have the 1970 date truck onto your coin

OK enough kidding around.. since there are no pictures let me ask you. Are the numerals 41 incused into the Quarter? Could be a counterstamp.

 

Actually, @paddyman98 there is a third and a fourth option...

3. Somebody fed a 1941 Canadian quarter into the press and grabbed it as it was struck.

4. Somebody is faking an overstrike (probably a careful vice job) to take advantage of #3.

Yes, there is a very famous 1970 minted over a 1941 Canadian quarter. It's in an NGC slab and for sale by a very reputable dealer, Mike Byers.

Thus people are out there faking them to take advantage of the publicity.

 

Perhaps the coin is so valuable, even the picture of it was stolen.

 

Tsk, tsk paddy! "2 things could have happened."

I'd LOVE to 'dirt fish' this turntable from the 30's.

 

I think you replied to the wrong thread, but...

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are camping in the woods.

After setting up the tent and building a fire, they have dinner and Holmes plays a bit on the violin. Then they turn in for the night.

About 3am Holmes wakes Watson and asks him what he sees. Why Sherlock he cries, I see the majesty of the Milky Way, billions of stars shining their ancient light upon us.

Watson, says Holmes, you are an idiot - somebody stole our tent.


I think somebody stole your roundhouse.

 

LOL, That's funny.

 

I found 2 1970 d quarters where 1941 is visible on the back side.

 

OK, make that THREE vice jobs.

 

These "errors" seem to be coming out of the woodwork... A 1941 Canadian quarter is silver, a 1970 or 70-d US quarter is clad... Likely you have a damaged quarter worth a quarter. The error PROOF quarter was not an error... It was created on purpose by a mint employee. The chances that a second mint employee would drop another Canadian quarter into a press in Denver is slim to none.
