It's a Canadian quarter, 1944, well circulated, the N C on the obverse is a counterstamp. These are 80% silver if I remember correctly.

 

The nc is a counterstamp I think

 

I dont know if this will work but goto google.com at the top of the page you will see a link called image drag the photo into the search box and see if you get any hits from the search

 

There's just no way possible to tell you why that coin was counter stamped. It could have been to go to a specific bar, maybe Ned Calley's Bar and Cafe in Balsak. Maybe it was to a house of ill repute. You just never know but I think there's a couple of books on counter stamps. Look into it. Google is your friend. :thumb:

 

Given that it's mid 20th century, it's extremely doubtful that the counterstamp can be traced. Moreover, given it's a mid 20th century emission -- and quite circulated at that -- its value is probably its melt value.
