I found this in my change. It looks like pre mint damage as most of the rought surfaces are through the stamping. Any more info or thoughts on this coin would be much appreciated :)
The edge looks weird too..... Here are some other pics I took recently of the edge & coin itself....Too many things overlap & show a weird design, not just the regular pic of a quarter.
Well now, here's something that occurred to me today. I was going through my 1997 and 1998 error nickels and I came across one which had a bunch of those plating bubbles that we often see on the new "nickel" coinage. On this one particular nickel most of the beads are virtually non-existent, where it looks like the "bubbles" have been scraped or worn off. This gives it a look similar to the outside edge of the reverse of your own coin, aardspeed, especially above the word "CANADA". Could your entire coin be a victim of an even worse case where the outer layer of nickel -- heavily "bubbled" -- has been worn/been scraped off? A really bad plating rash might explain that weird landscape all over both sides of your quarter. Just a thought.
