What is the misprint on the 1979 quarter that is worth 35 thousand dollars?

The coin was struck over a 1941 Canadian quarter. It takes a keen eye to see the print of the Canadian coin on the American coin. A 1941 Canadian quarter was made of silver and the American quart was a clad coin (copper line in the reeded edge). So, it would seem finding silver 1970-D (no copper line) would be easier to see than the faint imprint of the Canadian quarter.
