1996 P QUARTER RIM

Hi guys, I tried using this quarter in a machine that takes change to purchase
something, and the machine would not take it....It was too thick to go into the
slot.....I took it home and measured it ( 2.08mm ) and noticed that there is
no "ribs" on the edge...Also as you can see, there is a split of the copper and
silver on the edge....What do you think?

It was probably "spooned" which removes the reeded edge while making the coin thicker at the same time. I'm guessing that someone started on a project to make a ring, and decided it was too much work.

I agree with cpm9ball.

 

Same here.

 

Wow....Thanks Guys...I never heard of that before...

 

It doesn't look spooned to me but I can't describe what happened to it.

 

Think I am going to hold onto it just for the heck of it....

 

SmokinJoe, I like your dunebugee (SIC) avatar.

It must be PMD, it can't be struck with full details, and no reeding.

 

It's defective. Send it to the Mint and get your money back.
