Yes, the edge is folded up, that is just further damage after the area was flattened. Caught in a die, doesn't make sense if you understand the...
I've found two detecting, so yes they did get lost. For such a small coin they must have circulated pretty extensively, most are very worn.
You saved someone from wasting their money! I wonder how many people there are out there that owe you big time and they don't even know it. Those...
This seller shows a picture of the edge, clearly showing the casting seam, so you know they realize what it is but don't say so. People are still...

A 1941 Canadian quarter would be silver, not clad. How could a 1941 Canadian quarter be struck on a planchet that wouldn't exist for another 24...
The 1970 S proof quarter struck on a 1941 Canadian Quarter is a one off, manipulated "error". There is no reason to believe there is another one,...
Looks like pvc contamination to me.
No, that's just heavy damage. The biggest clue that the circular impression area is damage is that the area opposite on the reverse is flattened....
No problem, I collect these by die variety so I have all the references.
