I don't know why I would, but if I were going to sandblast a coin the first thing I would do would be to figure out a way to hold it steady so the blasting would not just slide the coin away. I think the first thing I would try would be to bore a shallow dime size hole in a piece of wood to hold it, do one side then flip it. I guess this would also protect the edge from the sandblasting. That being said, I don't see anyone spending that kind of time on it. I believe it is simply environmental damage. There could be any number of reasons the edge was not affected, or it may have been smoothed out afterword from friction or handling.

No point in getting it graded, it would cost much more than the value of the coin. I would put it in a flip or 2x2 holder to protect. Nice, coin I love large cents!

It has also been heavily polished, if it had been valuable that would have really hurt it.

Ratzie, instead of posting all these damaged coins, why don't you spend the time actually studying numismatics? You might actually learn something about the coins.

Why don't you ever send these great "rarities" you keep finding in to NGC?

There is no S, but it is your money so send it in if you want.

I would suggest a little research before making claims like this.

Fake beyond doubt, but if it had been real, cleaning it like that would have been catastrophic! It being a fake it really doesn't matter but if genuine it would have wiped out a lot of the value!

I can clearly see the copper core on the edge in one of your pictures. Can not be a 1941 Canadian quarter, end of story.

I'd have to say your coin has all the earmarks of a fake. Mushy details, grainy surfaces and base metal showing through. Certainly your choice whether to send it in or not but I see no chance that it is good.

Nothing is visible in that picture. First thing is to check if it is clad or silver. There is virtually no chance it is a 1970 or 1941.

Welcome. The I on your coin has just taken a hit from something which pushed the bottom sideways. You can see the scrape from the original location.

All face value as far as I can see, better pictures would help though.

Worth twenty five cents. Normal quarter with very minor misaligned die strike.

Welcome to the forum, sorry to say it is definitely a replica. It has all the characteristics of a common cast souvenir type copy. The picture is not the greatest, but I even believe I see an "R" for replica just below the 3 ships on the left.
