what kind of error is this?

The face of the coin is almost perfectly smooth. Only the dot or bump in the middle has any texture. Fingernails can't feel the LIB of Liberty or In God We Trust. The reverse is quite worn but all the info is still there. There is no rim to speak of.
I think it's quite curious how it seems to flow to/from Liberty.

Even if it was done on purpose, how could they get it so smooth around the black area? It really does blow my mind. I can make out the D of Denver mint.

 

This is what is called a Non Mint Error

PMD - Post Mint Damage

 

The coin is not an error, but is PMD, as Paddyman98 stated. That being said I am just curious to know what the reverse looks like. The coin appears at least IMO from your photo as if it has been shellacked with an epoxy or something which gives the appearance of depth and ability to read the text but is smooth in touch

 

I'll see if I can get a decent pic of the reverse later.

 

Somebody with to much time on there hands. Playing around in his work shop

The reverse. WELL worn but everything is there.

 

Is it smooth to the touch as well & unable to feel the text? If so, I think it is filled level with epoxy or something. Just a guess, but that's what it looks like to me.

 

I have a Texas state quarter with d mint. It is either completely clad covered including the rim or silver. No copper coloring in the edge

 

We see these a lot on CoinTalk.. Plated

 

Is it worth anything other than a quarter. I collect coins so I plan to keep it anyways but just wondering

 

You know they're going to say it's not worth anything in spend it

 

No..only 25 Cents

 

Its only worth anything if they sell it to you.
