Owner Comments:
When I was a kid in the 80s and 90s Canadian coins always showed up sometimes in change, especially their quarters and dimes. Of course I never got anything with King George, or King anyone on it. It was always Queen Elizabeth with some kind of reindeer or sailboat on the back. And, while it was neat, we all knew that you needed about 110 Canadian cents to get one US dollar. A pop machine might take a Canadian quarter, but the K Mart might not. Anyways, back when there was an easy way to compare circulating currency based on actual silver content, a Canadian quarter was about 95% of a US quarter. The Canadian quarter was a lot more than a shilling, but, a little less than a US quarter.
According to NGC on 5/26/2023 there is just this coin in MS-61 and only 4 in higher grades.
