1982 Type 2, Clad Quarter Short Leafs on rear, and smooth edge

This 1982 Quarter has a few odd things about it
1. it is completely smooth around edges, no ripples
2 on the back above quarter dollar the leaf does not seem to go as far as other quarters like overlapping the wings.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, I can get a Pic later of the Edge to show

Mark. Welcome to the party Pal! What took you so long to join in?
1) Dryer coin.... Search Results for “dryer coin” (error-ref.com)

 

@Markm84 Welcome to CoinTalk

What you have found is a counterfeit quarter. It is a fake.
It is not a Type 2. It is not clad. It is not an error/variety

I metal detected one a few years ago.
Here is my CoinTalk thread - 25C - Fake 1982 D Quarter | Coin Talk

And my pictures


The edge on a true quarter is called reeds. Not a reeded edge on this fake.

 

@SensibleSal66
It is also not a dryer coin
But nice try.

 

Welcome to Coin Talk.
I also have one. It is very magnetic.

 

But Uncle Ed?? Why did someone make these?? For Novelty or for something else?

 

Nobody really knows. But if you Google 1982 D counterfeit quarter you will find more pictures and information on the topic. Other forums also talk about it.

 

As said, definitely a fake. The coin doesn't match any of the details of a mint struck quarter.

 

Here is a couple more, but non-magnetic fakes.
