simple.. Heat or Acid damage

Wait.. rounded edge.. It's heat damage then. Your Quarter was trapped between the wall and the drum of a clothes dryer. It is called a Dryer Coin.

 

Never seen a dryer coin carry that smooth of a finish on the face

 

I don't believe a dryer would have the heat to cause this look.

 

Neither do I. The detail of the olive branch leaves and everything can still be seen just smoothed.

 

If it weighs less, the dimensions are different from a normal coin and the surface is granular is probably acid shrunk

 

Looks like a slot machine quarter that has been plated.

 

here's one from a washing machine .

 

Wheels, the weight of the coin is 5.45grams.
But after comparing in size they're the same in width. But tcoin is bigger in circufermence than the normal quarter.

 

Also the cheek and jaw line are raised well above the of the other

 

We will never know what exactly happened to your coin but I don’t believe is any type of error. Normal weight is about 5.7-8 , yours has endured some shrinking which is what happens when they are exposed to acid

 

With a micrometer my coin is slightly bigger in circufermence than the unmutated. The thickness mics out to be almost identical as well.

 

Normal weight is 5.67 grams.
