Canadian penny struck as a quarter?

[Harley digs it]

I found a penny a almost 10 years ago while working at a video store, and when I was counting my till I noticed it seemed odd to me. Upon closer inspection it was a penny that had been struck as a quarter. It is probably the best coin in my collection due to it being so odd. Sorry don't have a picture its located at my mothers house and I haven't gotten around to bringing it up here lol, much to my mothers dismay I have a few things still stored there hehe.

Any ideas what it might be worth based on what I've told you all. Just a round about guess would due not looking to sell it just wondering. Its in good shape not scratched or tarnished but the color is a little off for a penny seems darker than normal.

I will post a picture as soon as I can lol though I can't say when that will be. I'm in the military and don't get home much. I have moved so many times in the last few years doing courses that I've learned to leave those things you value somewhere stable and safe. But I should be getting a permantent posting soon so thats probably when you will see it lol.

Maybe Omni will find out how much it's worth. He is Mr. Research. Seems to find info on anything!

If you have a copper colored quarter or a nickel colored penny then you have what is called an "off metal strike" There is a group called CONECA that may have a website. They might be able to help you with a value for insurance purposes. If you want to sell it for the top dollar post it on ebay as an error coin but you would need to also post a clear picture or you are just throwing away money on something like that. exanimo, ss
