    If they are certified, then where are the holders they would be in?

    No it’s not. There is no Doubling on that quarter.  
    If you see Doubling, please enlarge that area and show us.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Henri Charriere in 2003 p dime no ridges which error is this   
    It is possible that it is an early stage dryer coin or the ridges have been removed by some other method.   
    It doesn’t really matter which, it occurred after it left the mint and is now considered damage.

    Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1997 quarter defect   
    Looks like someone has put a thick layer of clear glue on it and pressed the edge of another coin on it.   
    That is why you can still see the IN GOD WE TRUST lettering through it. Try soaking in pure acetone
    for about 24 hours and see if it comes off. This will not hurt the coin.   
    Whatever the cause, It was done after the coin left the mint.

    This is a duplicate post.
    It was established on the other post that this is a counterfeit coin.

    It looks like a Ridge Ring caused by a deteriorating die.    
    Just part of the minting process.

    Not an error, it is PMD. Something has hit the rim.   
    There is no way that  could happen when the coin was struck.

    You have Machine Doubling along with might be some Die Deterioration Doubling.   
    Doesn’t really matter as both are a worthless type of doubling.

    There have been counterfeits since the beginning of coinage. Age has nothing to do with it.   
    Yours is definitely one of them. There is no identity or detail to identify.

    Any clue how to send it to NGK experts so that they can identify it. 
    I am new to coin industry and as i can see you have a wide knowledge in it.

    I wholeheartedly accept your explanation.  I am familiar with the raised dot topographical feature unique to the 1836 Canadian cent but the problem presented here is a TPGS has apparently validated your claim and formally acknowledged it.  It's tough to challenge an opinion rendered by an established TPG.
    This instructively recalls a line attributed to President Lincoln:  "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
    Mine may simply be a case of sour grapes or low-baller's envy.  I could argue my coin was a post-Ike 1979 Sacagawea dollar and could not possibly be confused with any other introductory coin, but the DATE seemed to be a key consideration to at least one U.S. TPGS.  I may have to research this further but if it appears I am incorrect in my assumption, I will have no choice but to honor the commitment I made to leave unprodded of my own accord, with no parting shot.
