Does this mean I'm cursed?

In one hand I was casually examining an uncirculated 1974-D Washington quarter, just to see if I needed to keep it set aside or not. My other arm was holding my cat. I tossed this coin onto my desk sort of "quarters" style if you know the game... and I'm not making this up...
it landed...
like this...
I think I need to either hunker down or go buy a lottery ticket.

Send it in to grade and ask for the special "landed sideways" label.
"Once landed on edge" would be a pretty cool holder insert.
I might actually put it in a flip with that as a label.

I think the desk should be specially saved & preserved
If you were able to do it ten times in a row I'd say there is a problem..............................

Buy a lottery ticket, why mess with quarters (unless it's with a keg of beer 🍺)

Is your cat black ?
Block about twelve cubic inches in acetate. Cool to get the photo anyway!

Congrats on your lucky toss....a miracle .0001 probability would be my guess

Was it the spring Vernal Equinox ? You’re supposed to be to stand an egg on end.
Reminds me of the movie "Truth or Consequences N.M."
Throughout the movie a guy was flipping a coin and near the end, the quarter landed on it's edge...

I agree, should be good for 10x.
Parlay that into a winning Powerball ticket and let the fun begin.
YMMV.
Cool picture, your desk is almost too clean.
Check under that spot for a hidden GPS tracker or listening device
It would be really something if you then tossed your cat and it landed on its head or tail.
Click bait 😂
I got it from one of my favorite video game series.....Legacy of Kain.
The quote is in Soul Reaver 2.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
In a Twilight Zone episode, it gave someone the power to read minds.

The call is coming from within the house!
All four of mine are.
That is astounding. I just tried to do the same thing, regular quarter on flat paper on desk, could not get it to stand trying my best to balance it
First time I ever saw an "edge flip" was in the Grindl TV series circa 1963.

My vote is already cancelled out but you can see who is winning. 😆
As a (cat loving) friend once said: cats rule, dogs drool.
I've never seen so many freakin' cats on a coin forum. You guys must be a riot on CAT forums! I'm going to do a poll. This dumber then cat sh#t has got to STOP!!!
Sorry @ChrisH821 - Didn't mean to Hijack your thread. You can have it back now! 😉

Another thought: Your house and that table must be "completely" level, which is odd but not impossible. Or maybe just the paper it landed on.

This forum needs a thumbs down! 😂 🤣

I'm not a cat person, but to each their own. Don't bother me. Just scroll on my friend.
In my alley catting days while at a tavern I dropped a cigarette. For what seemed like an eternity. I could not find where it went/landed, not until I stepped away, it was standing straight up having landed on the filter end. Too many beers does that to a guy.
