<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LunaticByTheSea, post: 179224, member: 7314&quot;]That&#039;s the story. I ran across this reedless coin in my pocket of all places and can&#039;t find anything at all about about it. I visited a local coin dealer (sorta) and he advised me it was worth every bit of .25c and maybe more...of course he was no help at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I do not have a picture to share, just picture a standard 83 d circulated quarter of standard not very high quality detail but with an absolutely smooth edge...no reeding at all, and for the sake of this argument I have seriously inspected the coin and am convinced that it has not been tampered with, nothing shaved or smoothed after the fact.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have any idea if this has any value beyond a third of a can of coke? Looking for any input from the experts around here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,Chip</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh one more thing, the seperate layers of cladding are clearly seen on the edge, there is very nice copper/nickel delineation visable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Further edit: OK I have done a little more searching here on the site and I have encountered a simiilar thread and the possible explanation that it might be a Vegas quarter that has taken the trip down the chute a few too many times, but on further and close scrutiny I do not think that my coin is of that ilk due to the very crisp sharp and flat edges...not rounded or smoothed over but true and flat and on one small area there is an ever so slight possibilty of a tiny suggestion of a weak, weak reeded indentation, but I cant stress enough just how small an area it is or how otherwise the edge of the coin is hyper flat and undamaged. So If I assume, for the sake of this conversation that I am having with myself here that the reedlessness is a product of a striking arror, what if any value does this coin have as a collectible??</p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully some one other than myself will now chime in and clear the mystery...Im talking to myself here...again.</p><p>(Maybe reedless quarters aren&#039;t my biggest problem)</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and on more other, other thing, Im new here,&nbsp; so Hiya![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
