<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4145285, member: 84179&quot;]Your screen shot of the CBS4 site is an excellent example of the kind of misinformation that’s out on the web.&nbsp; It has numerous inaccuracies. </p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>There was only one 1970-S quarter overstruck on a 1941 Canadian Quarter<br /> </li> <li>1970-S quarters were only struck for proof sets, not general circulation<br /> </li> <li>This quarter and other “unbelievable” proof coin errors were found in a safe deposit box that was confiscated by a Govt Agency (I think it may have been the DEA or FBI but I can’t remember the details).&nbsp; These coins were subsequently sold at a government auction. <br /> </li> <li>It is widely believed that this coin along with the quarter over struck on a 1900 Barber quarter (referenced in a previous post) were done by a rogue employee at the mint.&nbsp; It was not part of the production process.<br /> </li> </ul><p>So, contrary to the info you saw, nobody is going to find another one in circulation or even in a proof set.&nbsp; The person who wrote this filler for the TV station did not bother to check the facts even though the information was widely published by numismatic sources.&nbsp; If a news organization makes these kinds of mistakes, just think about how much other inaccurate junk is out there on youtube![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
