This looks like a vf coin that has been polished. Reverse is scratched :-(

I got this along with a 1942 D Washington quarter. I just posted it on the modern grading forum. I paid $2 for both. Did I get sand deal?

 your quarter has been through a lot. it has been heavily polished which has basically rendered it not really collectible. it would have value for its silver content only though.

Thanks to everyone. At least I didn't pay much and it is still a cool coin to me.

bologna1, you like it and thats what matters most. going forward use this a learning experience. shiny coins do not necessarily mean valuable or original.
the tell-tale signs on this coin is that the entire coin has the same "glow" to it and all of the high points on the coin look like they are melted which is indicative of a mechanical polishing. on the reverse by "Quarter" you will note that someone dug at the coin most likely attempting to remove something from the coin. these are just a couple indicators to look for on altered coins. unless they are very rare they have no or little collector value
