1969P Cent Obverse clash

[Be~Hunt~N~Rolls]

I'm 99.9% sure I found a 1969 P obverse clashed with a Canadian Maple leaf Reverse..
I do have a few questions.

#1) is this a common error?
#2) if above answer is yes then don't proceed.
If no,
What's the best technique(S) to use to allow the clash to stand out more?

Thanks in advance!

This is not common at all and highly unlikely as there are two completely different mints, in two different countries, neither of them would have the dies from the other country. If you submit photos, it would answer a lot of questions. My gut tells me this is probably a vice or garage coin where multiple coins are sandwiched together and squeezed. This would impart some images to all adjacent coins, but they would be in reverse to a normal striking. Can you get us some photos?

I will grab some tonight..
Very well be a Canadian coin that left its imprint from being bundle up in a roll and put under pressure..
bc you can make out the lower stock and right side of maple leaf pretty easily..

Not saying its for the coin in post. I do swear I ran across articles that stated USA would mint coins for other countries sometimes?

You are correct. However, Canada was not one of them. Striking coins for other countries normally involves smaller countries that do not have their own mint.
